Early Renewal Carrier Deadlines
Don't miss your carrier's deadline for early renewal
As we mentioned in last month's newsletter, with health care reform changes upon us it may be financially beneficial to change your renewal date and "early renew." Whether or not early renewal is right for you depends on the average age of your group, rating factor, and renewal cycle. This particularly applies if you have a January 1, 2014 effective date.
Most of the carriers have agreed to an early renewal process; however, there are strict deadlines for doing so. We are in the process of contacting all of our groups to discuss this option in more detail and evaluate the pros and cons of early renewal. In the meantime, please make note of the following carrier deadlines to commit to the early renewal process:
Cal Choice - October 1st SeeChange - October 1st Blue Shield - October 7th Aetna - October 15th Western Health Advantage - October 15th Health Net - November 1st Anthem - November 15th UnitedHealthcare - November 30th
