When does Central Ohio Group need to receive a completed case in order to get the requested effective date?
Anthem requires that the case be in their home office by the requested effective date, therefore, We needs to receive the case 2 days prior to the requested effective date. MMOH will honor any requested effective date as long as the case is received within 5 days of that date. They will not, however, issue an effective date of the last 10 days of any quarter except for a qualifying event (see Producer Guidelines). CRL will give a first of the month effective date as long as they receive the case in their office by the 5th of the month. Otherwise, the earliest effective date available is the date they receive the case in their office.
