I am about to quit my job, need advice about insurance?

I am quitting my job in a couple of weeks to start my own business. I am shopping around for individual health insurance plans and have found a couple that will suit my needs. The problem is that the plans are both Anthem (Blue Cross California) and that is the same insurance that my employer carries. I'm worried that contacting Anthem to start the process of getting coverage will alert my employer that I am leaving. Should I be concerned? I am about to quit my job, need advice about insurance?
Nope. They won't tell your employer.





But be DARNED sure the policy is in place, before you quit. See, that initial quote you have is subject to underwriting. So if you have anything wrong with you (preexisting conditions) the company doesn't have to give you insurance at all - or they can charge a lot more for it.I am about to quit my job, need advice about insurance?
No-your group insurance does not send that kind of info to your employer.
