After your application has been processed, one of three things can happen. You may be:
- Approved at the quoted rate (known as the standard premium charge)

You’ll be notified by mail about the decision. If approved, coverage will typically start on your chosen effective date.
Important note: Do not cancel your current health insurance until you have been notified of your approval for this new plan.
We will apply the payment you’ve submitted to your first monthly payment. For credit cards, any additional payment that is required (based on the underwriting process) will be charged to the card. If you paid by check, any additional amount will be show up in your next payment.
