Person is diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease, hence becomes entitl

[Guest rcenturion]

If a person is diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease, thereby entitling the person to Medicare, will Cobra coverage be terminated?

If the individual enrolled in COBRA first and Medicare second, COBRA ends when the individual enrolls in Medicare (regardless of the reason). If the individual enrolled in Medicare first and COBRA second, the individual can carry both Medicare and COBRA. If the reason for Medicare is ESRD, then COBRA will be primary to Medicare for the coordination period (30 months).

Where can I find that information in the COBRA regs?
