The problem persists only for you because you made up a rule that doesn't exist. It doesn't exist in AHIP training, CMS marketing guidelines, or any other relevant source. I've had many clients sign and date applications then get around to mailing them days or even weeks later and there has never been a problem, because I submit them within 48 hours after I receive them and carriers go by the rules that exist, not invented ones.The problem does persist with any mailed in MA application though, even without postage paid PO Box mailing it still takes 2 to 3 days to receive that app back. The carriers will still give you a hard time if you do that many times over.submissions, so this would mean I never did it before and only know about it because of AHIP testing.
