I sent in my application in October of last year and finally got my card in April. But it was dated in October!! All the new cards are getting lucky with the dates it sounds like, but it was not always that way

It took just over 8 months to get the actual card in my hand. It had been so long that I was starting to wonder if I had simply thrown out the mail by accident without realizing it. Also, the card is good for a year from issue date, not from the date of the Dr. appointment, which is kind of nice. Won't need to renew until a year from now. I think I might need to have a little Rating: 5

How strange, my husband sent his application in Sept 09 and recieved his card in Dec 09. It was dated December 22. I sent my information in November, recieved on April 25 and my card is dated April 23. I have never seen a card back dated to the orginal application date. It is not new card holders, to the best of my knowledge they have always placed the issued date on the card giving patients the "bonus" of having the process time not counting against your yearly renewal.
