January open enrollment is the busiest time of year, so let’s plan ahead to successfully transition clients to Anthem. Take a moment to review our timelines for quoting and enrolling new business to ensure member ID cards are in your clients’ hands before their effective date.
Paperwork must be complete by the following dates for a January 2026 effective date:
Groups over 500: 11/3/2025
Groups 250 to 499: 11/18/2025
Groups 100 to 249: 11/21/2025
Groups 51 to 99: 11/26/2025
Use the Large Group proposal checklist to make sure you have everything you need to craft your proposal. Be sure to send your proposal requests to AnthemNHLargeGroupRFP@anthem.com.
When requesting proposals, consider the timeline above for new business submissions. We can decline to quote if proposal requests don’t allow for adequate time for negotiations and paperwork submissions.
Please reach out to your Anthem representative if you have any questions.
