Are insurance companies required to offer health coverage after COBRA expires?

if i leave my current employment, we have less than 20 employees. therefore, i would only be covered by our states (TN) mini-Cobra...and that only extends coverage for 3 months. does insurance like BCBS of TN have to offer health coverage after that expires? thanks.

Answers:
No, they aren't. You would send in an application, and "apply" for coverage, just like anyone who DIDN'T have Cobra. Then it gets underwritten like any new business application.
