December and January deadlines are early due to higher volume

To adjust for our busiest months, deadlines for December and January effective dates are earlier than other months. Submission deadlines for Small Group business applications are normally the 15th of the month, but they have been moved up for peak season.

  • December 1, 2021, effective dates
    • Deadline is November 8, 2021
  • January 1, 2022, effective dates
    • Deadline is December 6, 2021

Cutoff dates also apply to Anthem Balanced Funding election and renewal decisions.

New Small Groups that do not meet the minimum contribution requirements may apply during the federal special enrollment period from November 15 through December 15, 2021, for a January 1, 2022, effective date. This is the only exception to the early deadlines.

Please contact your local Small Group sales representative for help with quoting or submitting new business.
