Select either the 1st or the 15th of the month. You must select a date within the next 90 days.
If you currently have health coverage, we strongly recommend that you maintain your current coverage. The specific effective date you request is subject to underwriting and approval of your application, and we strongly recommend you allow 60-75 days for underwriting. This will help ensure that your application is processed before you surrender your present insurance and will prevent you from being required to pay for two policies.
Later in the application process you will be given the option to allow BCBS Global Solutions to assign your Effective Date. If you choose this option, your effective date will assigned as either the 1st or the 15th of the month following the approval of your application.
REQUESTING AN EFFECTIVE DATE DOES NOT GUARANTEE UNDERWRITING TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE DATE REQUESTED.
