You can send an email to [email protected] if you need to make a correction to your policy. Please include your order number on all email correspondence. If you prefer, you can call us with your corrections at our toll free number 877-970-9059. Please note, the policy options that have been selected at the time of purchase can only be changed during the review period listed on the policy. If the policy for the state that you live in offers a review period (usually 10 – 14 days depending on the state you live in), you can change the coverage amount selected. Please review your quoted/purchased plan to see if there is a review period available. If you live in a state that does not offer a review period, or if you are outside of the review period, the policy cannot be changed or cancelled for a refund. Please note, if cancelled, the charge for the original policy purchase may take several business days to be refunded (minus the $7 non-refundable processing fee that was included in the original premium).
