Q: How long does it take until
health insurance is in force?
A: If you apply online and pay by
credit card at FreedomBenefits.net, most types of coverage becomes effective at
midnight. You will receive an e-mail immediately that confirms the
coverage with a temporary ID card and the permanent ID card is mailed
on the next business day.
In some cases a longer underwritning time is required. If to coverage you
are considering does not say "immediate issue" then make inquiries about the
underwriting time.
