My husband is 71 and currently on hospice care for Stage 4 cancer. He is covered under my company plan and has Medicare Part A. I am leaving my job this month and my company coverage ends on May 31st.

I enrolled him in Part B on the Medicare website on May 11th. I have the email confirmation the forms were received. However nothing is showing up on the social security website that’s it’s being processed. I’m worried he is going to be without insurance June 2.

Do I continue with Cobra coverage for him until Part B is approved? Is there a specific number I should call? Or department to reach? Hospice told me not to worry about Plan B as hospice is covered 100% under Part A but I’m kind of panicking about not having Plan B approved.
