NEW-BORNS NOT COVERED IF NOT ENROLLED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF BIRTH

There has been an increase in the number of insured persons who are failing to enroll their newborns after a delivery that is covered under the plan.

Certificate wording generally reads as follows: “In order to be covered from the date of birth, a newborn child must be properly enrolled within 30 days of birth.” While it is the responsibility of all insured persons to read their certificate wording and adhere to those provisions, many are failing to enroll a newborn WITHIN THE 30 DAY TIME LIMIT. The newborn will not be covered for insurance if not enrolled within 30 days.
