So you have applied for new group health insurance<\/a> for your company, or you are an employee at a company that is moving to a new health insurance carrier, one thing that you want to know is when do I receive my medical ID cards?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After your company has submitted the application to the insurance company, your application goes into underwriting. Underwriting is the process of reviewing your company\u2019s application and can take a couple of days or weeks depending on the complexity of your new insurance and the amount of submissions that the insurance carrier has received.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, after your group\u2019s insurance is approved, the employees\u2019 information is loaded into the insurance carrier\u2019s computer system in about 3-4 business days. <\/strong>After the members and their dependents are setup in the health insurance carrier\u2019s system, the medical ID cards are shipped<\/strong> to the employees\u2019 home. You can expect to receive the medical ID cards within 5-10 business days after the employees\u2019 information is setup.<\/p>\n

Almost all health insurance carriers send the medical ID cards to the employees\u2019 home, but there are exceptions where the insurance carrier will send the medical ID cards to the broker\u2019s office or directly to the employer. If the medical ID cards are not sent directly to the employees\u2019 home, then your broker will notify you of this.<\/p>\n

Time to receive the medical ID cards can vary, but the time frame above is generally what happens based on our experience at Technology Insurance Associates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have not received your medical ID cards in a timely manner, it is best to contact your broker and let him or her know so the health insurance carrier can be contacted to check to see where the medical ID cards are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
