Can I save money on my premiums?
Yes!
Either:
- If your account is current and you pay three months' premium in advance, the fourth month of coverage will be free.
Or:
- If you sign up for automatic payments from either your checking account or a credit card, you are eligible for a 25% discount.
Also, each county has a Community Provider Plan. If you choose this plan, your premium will be reduced by $3 per child.
You can also have your income reviewed to see if you are eligible for a lower premium. Please submit a Premium Re-evaluation Form to see if your premium will change.
