The open enrollment period to add dependents to an existing Blue Cross® and Blue Shield® of Illinois (BCBSIL) individual policy is coming to an end on March 31, 2010. During this period there are no medical questions and the policy is guaranteed issue. The 12 month pre-existing condition waiting period is still applicable.

In order to qualify for the open enrollment period, the existing policy must have been in force prior to June 1, 2009. The open enrollment applies to all dependents under age 26 (and eligible military veterans under age 30), including children and/or spouses.
