What is the Blackout Period?
Claims processing is delayed during the first two months of the Fall Term while studentcare.net/works waits for complete enrolment lists, after opt outs and enrolments have been processed. During this time, you may submit claims, but reimbursement cheques will only be mailed once the Blackout Period ends. Practitioners and pharmacists can’t accept Pay Direct or assignment of benefits during the Blackout Period. Returning eligible students who were covered in a previous term will not experience a Blackout Period during the following term. All other students will have a Blackout Period during the first two months of the first term in which they enroll. For example, only new Fall Term students will experience a Blackout Period in 2007’s Fall Term.
