You’ll find answers to many of your plan payment questions below. The answers can differ based on which plan you have with us.
Individual + family
-
Your payment is due by the first of the month.
-
Overpayments can happen for many reasons, including changes in subsidies from the government that help lower your monthly health insurance premium.
If you've overpaid, you can request a refund for the overpayment amount. Call the Member Services number on the back of your Medica ID card. Refunds may take up to 30 days to process.
If you don't request a refund, the overpaid amount will automatically be applied to your next bill.
-
We're unable to process any medical claims or prescription benefits until your bill is paid in full. That means you may have to pay for the full cost of your health care services or prescriptions.
-
After you make your first premium payment and your coverage begins, you can set up automatic payments. Sign into your secure member account and go to “Autopay” to set up your payment details. If you haven't set up your member account, you can create an account here. You can also call the Member Services number on the back of your Medica ID card to set this up.
-
Sign into your member account and go to “Payment Methods” to change your payment details. You can add, edit, and delete payment methods.

If you made changes to your plan after your last bill was created, they won't appear on that bill. Your bill for the next month will show the change.
