The Dreaded "C" Word: Cancellation Options
There are two main ways to cancel your Philadelphia American health insurance:
Phone It In: Grab your phone (because carrier pigeons are so 2023) and dial their customer service number. Be prepared to chat with a friendly (or maybe not-so-friendly) representative who will walk you through the process.
Hit 'Em with the Email: Feeling shy? Craft a polite email requesting cancellation. Make sure to include your policy number, desired end date, and a brief explanation for your departure (optional, but it might help them improve their service... maybe).
Important Note: Whichever method you choose, make sure you get confirmation of the cancellation. A follow-up email or a written transcript from the phone call is your best friend here.
Breaking Up is Hard to Do, But Not That Hard
Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
- Know Your Dates: Check your policy for any cancellation deadlines. You don't want to be stuck paying for coverage you don't need.
- Be Prepared to Answer Questions: Philly American might try to win you back with sweet-talking offers. Stick to your guns (metaphorically, of course) or politely decline.
- Consider COBRA: If you're leaving a group plan, you might be eligible for COBRA, which allows you to continue coverage under the group plan for a limited time (but at a higher cost).
