still covering the essentials of health care such as prescription drug coverage
and office visits. PPO Share Plans have benefits that cater towards
families and allows members access to immediate benefits for office visits,
preventive care and annual physical exams. The Individual Lumenos HSA
and HIA (Plus) allows individuals to receive benefits to stay healthy all
while keeping more control over their health care dollars. Blue Cross

Network:
Anthem Blue
Cross of Florida gives you access to one of the largest networks in Florida,
with thousands of health care providers throughout the state. Having
access to the PPO network can mean substantial discounts in what you pay
for your health care, even before you meet your deductible.
The large list of doctors and hospitals can be viewed at their online
directory.
Underwriting:
Anthem Blue
Cross has one of the easiest, most efficient underwriting teams in the industry.
The process is very fast if no medical records are needed. While
it is always a good idea to apply at least three weeks prior to the time
you need your new coverage to take effect, some applications that are done
online are approved by Anthem Blue Cross within 24 hours.
The
company does have the right to accept or decline any individual or family
application. Certain conditions may be waivered with a temporary rider
(usually for one to two years), or an indefinite rider. If you are
currently being treated for depression, anxiety, or high cholesterol, please
let us know before you apply so we can make sure there are no delays in
getting you covered.
Effective
dates:
The coverage
can go into effect in as quickly as 24 hours, though you risk being declined
if claims are submitted before the underwriting process is completed. You
may request an effective date any time the date after you sign the application
and 60 days later. Please note that you will be billed starting on
your requested effective date, even if you have not yet been notified that
you have been approved. This is very good for someone who does not
have any present coverage and would like for their benefits to begin right
away. For those who are already covered, it is suggested that you
maintain your current coverage in force until you have received notice from
either eFLHealthInsurance
or directly from
Anthem Blue Cross that your coverage has been approved and is in force.
Your
earliest possible effective date will be the day after Anthem Blue Cross
has received all the necessary documents and information needed to process
your application.
