We have a self-insured dental plan. We are in Oregon. Am I correct that no portability options are required after the exhaustion of COBRA?

Thank you.

By portability I assume you mean a conversion policy. I know of no insured or self-insured dental plan that allows conversion to an individual poliicy. Even if Oregon had a conversion requirement it typically wouldn't apply to a self-insured plan.

If on the other hand you are concerned that Oregon has continuation rules more favorable than COBRA I would check with the state insurance department.

Yeah, I emailed them last week. I thought I would see if anyone here knew anything while I waited.
