December and January deadlines are early due to higher volume
To adjust for our busiest months, deadlines for December and January effective dates are earlier than other months. Submission deadlines for Small Group business applications are normally the 15th of the month, but they have been moved up for peak season.
- December 1, 2022, effective dates:
- The deadline is November 7, 2022
- January 1, 2023, effective dates:
- The deadline is December 5, 2022
Cutoff dates also apply to Anthem Balanced Funding election and renewal decisions.
The only exception is for new Small Groups that do not meet the minimum contribution requirements. They may apply during the federal special enrollment period from November 15 through December 15, 2022, for a January 1, 2023, effective date.
Please contact your local Small Group sales representative for help with quoting or submitting new business.
