Can I use my health insurance as soon as I get it?

Smilepoint11 Jan, 2024Health

A lot of people that enroll in a health insurance plan have this question. As soon as a person completes the enrolment and pays the premium, s/he should be covered right away. Not really! The date when your health insurance coverage starts paying for your medical expenses is called your plan?s effective date. Not always, this date isn?t the date of your enrollment. The effective date depends on when you buy your health insurance?the first half of the month or the second half!
