For plans that do not require medical underwriting, coverage will be effective on the first of the month following application processing. For internal use only

20 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How are premiums paid? Premiums are paid monthly either by pre-authorized debit or credit card. Your first payment covers the first two months of coverage and is due on your effective date. So, for example, if your coverage is effective on March 1, premiums for March and April will be taken on March 1. Subsequent payments will be taken 30 days in advance of the month for which coverage is to be provided. Continuing with this example, premiums for May coverage will be taken on April 1.
