Do I have to pay my premium payment in full?
Your premium payment is due in full on the designated due date. You may pay your premium ahead of time but the full amount must be received by the due date. If it is not received by the due date, it will be considered late.
Please note: Your first initial payment (called a binder payment) will need to be paid in full. It must be for the full amount of your monthly premium responsibility. Coverage cannot begin if the full amount is not paid at the time you enroll.

What happens if I am behind on my premium payments?Please call us at 833-600-1311. The Affordable Care Act provides a grace period to help you avoid having your coverage canceled. If you are past the grace period, your coverage will be canceled from the date you stopped making payments and you will be responsible for full payment of all claims during that time.
