What happens to claims submitted to Anthem within the election period?
Coverage is terminated under the Plan until such time that the Qualified Beneficiary properly elects COBRA coverage and makes the applicable premium payment. During the period of time when coverage terminates and when Qualified Beneficiary has properly elected coverage and made payment for COBRA coverage, Anthem will inform any party or person who contacts Anthem that the Qualified Beneficiary does not have coverage but that coverage may be retroactively reinstated if the Qualified Beneficiary elects COBRA within the election period and makes payment of the applicable premium.
