Information for Applicants Requesting
a Special Enrollment Period
When applying to enroll for coverage during a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), an applicant must be eligible to enroll and provide
supporting documentation of a qualifying event. Without this documentation the applicant may not be able to enroll.
Please review the list below which outlines examples of what may be used as supporting documentation. Be sure to send in a copy
of the documentation supporting the qualifying event when the completed application is submitted or upload a copy of the
documentation when submitting an online application.
For paper applications, please submit legible copies of everything and keep all original documents for your personal records, because
no original documentation will be returned. Please write the applicants name on the top of each page of the supporting documentation.
After reviewing the information provided, we may request additional documentation to confirm eligibility. Please note that loss of
health coverage due to fraud, intentional misrepresentation of a material fact or failure to pay a premium do not constitute qualifying
events.
If you have further questions about qualifying events or the supporting documentation that is required, please call your agent or

Important legal information
All Applicants
I, the undersigned, understand that under the Anthem plan/policy in which I am enrolling, I will have considerably higher personal financial costs if I
use an out-of-network hospital or physician than if I use a network hospital or physician. Contact customer service at 1 (855) 383-7247 with any
questions about the use of network providers and the financial impact of using out-of-network providers.
HIV Testing PROHIBITED:
California law prohibits an HIV test from being required or used by health insurance companies as a condition of obtaining health
insurance.
I understand that:
·
I must include my first premium payment with this application, but that does not mean coverage has been approved. I’m applying for the
coverage I chose in Step 2. To the extent permitted by law, Anthem has the right to accept or decline this application. If my application is
denied, my bank account or credit card will not be charged, and if I paid with a money order, it will be returned to me.
· I’m responsible to let Anthem know, in a timely manner, of any change that would make me or any dependent ineligible for coverage.
· Check payments may be handled as Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) debit transactions. That means if I pay by check, the paper check will be
destroyed and the debit payment will appear on my bank statement. My check won’t be given to my financial institution or sent back to me. This
does not mean I will be enrolled in an automatic debit process to pay my premium. Any resubmissions due to insufficient funds may also be
electronic. All checking transactions will remain secure, and my payment by check means I agree to these terms.
· I agree and consent to the recording and/or monitoring of any telephone conversation between Anthem and me.
· By providing a phone number, I agree and consent that Anthem and its affiliates may call or text me at the phone number included on this
application using an automated telephone dialing system and/or prerecorded message to help keep me informed about my benefits.
· I’m applying for individual health coverage which is not part of any employer sponsored plan and I’m responsible for all of the premium
payments and making sure that all premiums are paid on time.
· I certify that each Social Security Number listed on this application is correct.
· My Domestic Partner, if applicable, is eligible for coverage only if he or she has established a domestic partnership with me pursuant to
California law.
· I represent that I have read the Important Legal Information section, and I agree to the coverage conditions. I represent the answers given to all
questions on this application are true and accurate to the best of my knowledge and belief, and I understand they are being relied on by Anthem
in accepting this application. Any act, or practice that constitutes fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact found in this application
may result in denial of benefits, rescission or cancellation of my coverage(s).
I sign this application for and on behalf of any eligible dependents and myself if covered by Anthem. I am acting as their agent and representative.
This application cannot be altered by the applicant after submission to Anthem absent the acknowledgement and consent of Anthem.
Rescission of Membership
Every applicant age 18 or older acknowledges the following: I have provided true and complete answers to all questions in the application to the best
of my knowledge and understand that all answers are important and will be considered in the acceptance or denial of this application. I understand
that all information I know, that is responsive to a question on this application, must be provided in my answers consistent with California law.
The primary applicant additionally acknowledges the following: All of my dependents listed on this application who are 18 years of age or older have
read this application and have provided complete and accurate information for this application to the best of my knowledge and have signed the
application below. Also, to the best of my knowledge and belief, I have done everything necessary to be able to assure you that all information about
all applicants, including my children under the age of 18, listed on this application is true and complete.
I understand that if my plan/policy is rescinded, I will be sent written notice that will explain the basis for the decision and my appeal rights. I have the
option to submit a new application in the future to be considered for benefits. I also understand that, consistent with California law, I will be required
to pay for any services Anthem Blue Cross paid on my behalf and that Anthem Blue Cross will refund any premium paid by me, less my medical
expenses that Anthem Blue Cross paid.

Payment Methods for Individual Applications
Applicant/Member name Primary applicant’s Social Security number
I, the applicant am responsible for monthly payments to Anthem. I authorize Anthem to debit the bank account listed or charge the credit/debit card listed for my
first monthly payment on or after the day that my coverage is approved. By signing this form, I understand that the amount of the first payment may change from
what I was told because my coverage has not been approved yet. In addition if I select Option 1 or Option 2 below, I understand that my future payments may vary
as a result of changes(s) I make once enrolled, including but not limited to, adding and deleting dependents, moving my residence, changing coverage and/or changes
made by Anthem of which I am notified according to my plan/policy. In addition, I understand if changes I make are close to the auto withdrawal date, Anthem may
not be able to notify me before the withdrawal is made. I agree to pay any service charge that Anthem may bill me because the debit/charge was not honored.
I understand if my monthly payment increases based on a certain percentage, Anthem will stop my automatic payments and send notification to me. I will have the
option to restart the automatic monthly payments.
Please choose how you want to pay your monthly payments for all of your plans. Put a check in the box for either
Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3.
