Employees can use this template to notify their insurance carrier they are changing to a new carrier
When you are switching insurance carriers it is imperative to notify your current medical insurance carrier.
It is a best practice to notify the current carrier at least 30 days in advance to terminate your individual/family insurance coverage.
Note: If you need to cancel the coverage in less than 30 days, please send the cancellation notice as soon as possible.
The carrier will need to deactivate automatic payments and terminate coverage.
IMPORTANT: Individual insurance cannot be canceled retroactively and can only be canceled by the policyholder. This is important so your Employer does not continue to pay for both your new and old policy.
Your insurance carrier will need to be notified before your policy automatically renews. To cancel your coverage either call the phone number on the back of your insurance card or send a letter to the carrier.
