Group Wide Change Deadline for November 1, 2020 Effective Dates Group Wide Change Deadline for November 1, 2020 Effective DatesThe BCBSM and BCN underwriting policies require a 45-day lead time for benefit changes, and a 30-day lead time for maintenance changes.
Group wide changes vary greatly, and can be processed using a number of different methods, depending on the changes being made. Action Benefits recognizes that many changes can be executed within a shorter timeframe than required by the underwriting policies. However, adequate lead time is necessary to ensure that changes are completed by the desired effective date, so members can receive the appropriate benefits when seeking services. Appropriate lead time also helps to allow adequate time for follow-up requests for missing information or required documentation More Information CoverageForCompanies Demo - WEBINAR 10:00 AM CoverageForCompanies Demo - WEBINARWhen: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AMWant to learn how you can deliver a paperless enrollment process and an ideal customer experience?Interested in seeing the latest enhancements or need a refresher on CoverageForCompanies?
