What does "active" vs "inactive" insurance status mean?

"Active" means your insurance is currently in force and claims can be processed. "Inactive" means your coverage has ended, not yet started, or has lapsed due to non-payment or a life event. Contact your insurer if you believe your status is incorrect.
