Q: I applied for health insurance
online at FreedomBenefits.net but I made a mistake entering my
husband's date of birth. I put that he was born "3/4/61" instead of the
correct birthday "4/3/61" I was afraid to make payment online after
noticing this error.
A: Since you opted for a mail-in
payment, just print the copy of the application that was e-mailed to
you and write the correction on the paper application. Send a copy with
your initial premium payment. Transposing the day and month did not
change your spouse's age, so the premium rate will not change.
