Can I change my effective date?

Yes, you can move your effective date to a date 30 days or 60 days later*. If you just found out that you were approved for December 1st or January 1st, you may want to move your effective date to February 1st so you don’t end up paying for December and/or January.

How do I change my effective date?
Once you know that you are approved, fax a letter to Member Services at 858-614-3344 (Northern California) or 858-614-3345 (Southern California). Include the following information:
   -Date
   -Applicant’s Name
   -Applicant’s Kaiser Medical ID Number (optional)
   -Applicant’s Date of Birth
   -Original Effective Date
   -Desired Effective Date
   -Phone Number
   -Applicant’s Signature
    (If applicant is a minor, use parent or legal guardian’s signature)

Can I change my effective date more than once?
Yes, you can change your effective date up to two times.

* The option to move effective dates forward 60 days is to deal with the current backlog. Once this situation is remedied, only a 30 day change will be allowed.
