Continuing Coverage is available in periods as short as 5 days at a time when purchased utilizing Seven Corners’ online system.

If written request is received after the Effective Date of Coverage, the unused portion of the plan cost may be refunded minus a cancellation fee, provided no claim has been submitted to Seven Corners for reimbursement.
