The FollowMe (formerly ConversionPlus) - Basic plan provides affordable health coverage. All of the FollowMe plans are for people leaving an existing group health and dental plan due to retirement, layoff, or other reasons. As long as you apply within 60 days from the loss of your previous coverage, you can switch to FollowMe without answering any medical questions. Explore the benefits of the Basic plan, as well as the other FollowMe plans, and purchase the right coverage for you and your family.
