Expect Longer Underwriting Times for Florida Health Insurance

A few years back Florida Health Carriers were bragging about how quickly health applications were being underwritten. For example is was quite common for an application written on Monday to be approved by Wednesday.

However due to Health Reform this is changing.   Due to healthcare reform carriers are not allowed to rescind any policies in except for cases of fraud.

What does that mean for you?  It means if you need Florida health insurance an application should be started at least 6 weeks before the effective date.
