Never Miss a Dependent Premium Again – New and Improved

Whether you’re using our new app or logging in to the redesigned website, you can now make sure you never forget to pay your dependent premium. AutoPay is here, and newly improved. It now takes all major credit cards, including American Express. If you’re working or living abroad, we can also accept credit cards from foreign banks. Even if this quarter’s payment has been made, you can still sign up now, and all future dependent premiums will be automatically deducted from your credit card. We’re working hard to make this the best experience possible, so if you have the time, please take the website or mobile app survey and let us know what we’re doing right and what we could do better.

YOU MAY QUALIFY FOR A 100% COBRA PAYMENT SUBSIDY

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is a federal program that provides 100% payment assistance for monthly COBRA premiums. This premium assistance is available to qualified individuals and their covered dependents for up to 6 months, between April 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

If you qualify for this program, it means NO COBRA payments for up to six months. Additionally, if you have already paid COBRA premiums between April 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021, you may be entitled to a refund! To learn more, click HERE or click HERE to apply.
