Premium Payment
PUP-CHC bills the employers on the 15th of the month for the premium due for the upcoming month. If the premium is not received by the 15th of the following month, a notice will be sent to the employer informing them that they have until the last day of the month for the premium to be received by PUP-CHC.
If the premium is not received by the end of the month, the health plan prescription and medical card will be suspended. Only when premium is received will the cards be reactivated. If the employer still has not paid by the 10th, the group will be terminated, and the proper collection procedures will be invoked.
If (2) late payments are applied at any time during the twelve (12) month plan period, PUP-CHC will terminate the group.
Termination
PUP-CHC requires a thirty one (31) day written notice prior to the requested termination date. (NO BACKDATING WILL BE ALLOWED.)
PUP-CHC will use all appropriate legal alternatives to properly collect premiums due to the plan.
Re-instatement
Only one (1) re-instatement will be allowed, and the cost will be paid in advance by the employer. A cost of $15 per employee will be required, with a minimum charge of $100 per group.
