Information:
The rates are

if you move to a different age rate bracket during the 12-month period.
The premium
can be paid via quarterly, semi-annual, or annual billing, or a monthly bank
draft or credit card. The bank draft will occur on the premium due date
each month. The initial premium can be paid with a check or credit card. To
qualify for the Nationwide health plan in California, you must either already
be a Farm Bureau member, or you must pay the annual membership dues along with
your application. The dues for this membership average approximately $70
per year, but vary by county and occupation status. To find your exact
yearly dues, see the chart below. Your dues are payable in one yearly
installment when you apply for a Nationwide health plan. The one page

Nationwide
plans are underwritten by Health Net Insurance. Health Net
has an excellent network of health care providers throughout the state.
The large list of doctors and hospitals can be viewed at their online
network listings. Please select the PPO – Individual
Plans option.
Underwriting:
Nationwide
programs are very popular in California, but their approval process is fairly
slow. Underwriting of your application can take as little two to three
weeks, but if medical records are ordered it is not unusual for the process
to take over a month. It
is standard practice to request a Blood Pressure Inquiry or medical records
for all applicants who are currently being treated for or who have recently
discontinued treatment for high blood pressure. Certain conditions
may be waivered with a temporary rider (usually for one to two years), or
an indefinite rider.
Effective
dates:
All Nationwide
policies begin the first of the month. The earliest your coverage
can go into effect is the first of the month after your signed application
has been received by our office. You may request an effective date
any time as far out as 60 days after you sign your application. Please
note, if you are requesting an effective date of less than 21 days from
the time you complete the application, you may not receive notification
of your approval until after your effective date. If you have claims
during this period, they will be eligible for coverage if submitted after
you have been approved. Also note that you will be billed starting
on your requested effective date, even if you have not yet been notified
that you have been approved. This is very good for someone who does
not have any present coverage and would like for their benefits to begin
right away. For those who are already covered, it is suggested that
you maintain your current coverage in force until you have received notice
from either eCAHealthinsurance
or directly from Nationwide that your coverage has been approved
and is in force.
How
to Apply:

online or download the application, fill it out and fax it in to
