This has more to do with company-specific guidelines. While some companies will prevent you from seeking full reimbursement for canceling a policy within 90 days, others will not if you can show proof of other insurance. In my experience, if you can show proof of another insurance, you might be able to get a full refund but this isn't guaranteed. Because you signed a policy contract at the start, you agreed to these terms and conditions. I, however, would still try and contact and customer service representative or a manager. Best of luck.

Yes, you should be reimbursed if you were actively insured during that time.
