as far as i know, as long as your COBRA doesn't *lapse* before you get new insurance, they can't refuse your treatment under a preexisting condition. It's only when you've been without insurance for any period of time can you be refused coverage. (shoot. that means i'm in a similar situation myself right now. damn.)
i would try to get your insurance squared away before the COBRA runs out and try to keep yourself insured without any lapses. as far as your T and whatnot being out of network with the new BCBS, maybe your T's practice can join the network? I'm not real sure about how easy that is though.
