If you were covered as a dependent on an employer group plan, that coverage typically ends, but you can often continue it temporarily through COBRA (up to 36 months) by paying the full premium yourself. If your spouse had an individual Medicare or Marketplace plan, that policy generally cannot be transferred to you, though you can shop for your own comparable plan through a Special Enrollment Period.
