4/1 Group is cancelled, collection process starts and 3rd letter sent to the group, 2nd letter to agent - Group still has option of being reinstated if pay all outstanding premiums and go on ACH
5/1 Claims will no longer be paid and the group is termed. Group still has option for reinstatement if they choose ACH billing or submit an appeal
5/15 BCBS will no longer accept a request from the group or agent for reinstatement. Group is closed and is sent to outside collection agency.
