Q from YOU to Ninja HQ
What happens if I’m late with my health insurance payment?
Late Health Insurance Payments & Grace Periods
So, what happens if you’re late with your health insurance payment? Well, don’t worry too much because all policies offer a grace period of 1-3 months to bring your payments up to date.
Marketplace Tax Credits More Lenient With Late Health Insurance Payments
Typically, most policies allow for only 1 month, but if you use subsidies on the Marketplace, you may be granted up to 3 months
Coverage Is NOT In Effect Until Payments Are Current
It’s important to note that if you become sick or injured during this grace period and your payments are not brought up to date, your medical expenses will not be covered.
Late Health Insurance Payments Can Be Rectified
But no need to panic! You’ve got this under control now. Making timely payments should be your priority going forward. We believe in you!
