Making it easy to pay your premium

Easy ways to pay

Social Security deductions

If you are enrolled in a Gold or Platinum plan, you can sign-up for automatic Social Security deductions. Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board will need to accept your request for automatic deductions. Depending on when you submit your request, it can take 1 to 2 months for payments to begin. Check your monthly Social Security statement to ensure the payments are being deducted. If you want to start or stop a deduction, please contact Customer Care at 1-855-562-8853 (TTY/TDD 711) and we will place the request.

Automatic bank withdrawals

Download, complete and send us the pre-authorization form below, and we can automatically withdraw your monthly premium payment for you on the 3rd of every month. (If the 3rd falls on a weekend or a holiday, the withdrawal will occur on the next business day.)
