Effective June 1, 2009 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois gives existing and new members the option to cancel their SelecTEMP (short term medical plan) policy prior to the expiration period. Please note:

The cancellation date will be effective on the next monthly renewal date following receipt of the cancellation request.

• Any prepaid premium will be refunded to the member.
• Reinstatements will be permitted provided that the request to reinstate is received prior to the cancellation date. If reinstatement is requested after the cancellation date, the individual must reapply under the subsequent benefit period application guidelines.
