If you enrolled in a Self-Enroll health insurance plan, you must pay your insurance premiums directly to your insurance carrier. Take Command does not collect or process premium payments.

Who pays my health insurance premium?

You are responsible for paying your insurance carrier directly.

The insurance carrier:

  • Bills you for your premiums.

  • Collects your payments.

  • Manages your billing account.

Take Command does not collect premium payments for Self-Enroll plans.


How do I set up premium payments?

After enrolling with the insurance carrier:

  1. Create or sign in to your carrier account.

  2. Add your payment method.

  3. Set up automatic payments if available.

  4. Make any required initial binder payment.

  5. Verify that your first payment is successful.

Continue monitoring your account to ensure future payments are processed.


What should I do if I receive a bill?

Receiving a bill from your insurance carrier is normal.

If you receive a bill:

  1. Review the billing statement.

  2. Confirm your payment method is active.

  3. Submit payment directly to the insurance carrier if payment is due.

Always follow your carrier's billing instructions.


What happens if I miss a payment?

If premiums are not paid:

  • Your carrier may send delinquency notices.

  • Your coverage may be suspended or terminated.

  • You may lose eligibility for HRA reimbursements.

Maintaining active coverage is your responsibility.
