Once your enrollment request is submitted to the Carrier for review, the carrier can take 3-5 business days to -review and approve your policy. ID cards take 7-10 business days to be received by mail. Your Member Portals can be accessed with your Member ID #'s to view, save, and/or print Member ID cards.
