Important sold case reminders and dates


Did you know that a key date* in every month ensures that your clients’ claims and member ID cards are ready by the plan’s effective date? The best way to ensure your clients have all they need by their effective date is to submit all sold cases and their final paperwork by the 15th of most every month.

 

For May and June, new business deadlines for submissions and paperwork are below. However, for late submissions, your client will not be claims ready by the effective date.

 

*The above dates are to ensure groups are claims and ID card ready.
