Premium payments for KCHIP Lexington health insurance
If you are unable to pay your premium for KCHIP, then you will have to go to the nearest Lexington health insurance office and try again, which will start the process all over, with another application, interview, and everything. You can still get approved after defaulting on a premium, but since it is such a hassle and having health insurance coverage is so important, it should be avoided at all costs. To make sure you pay on time, remember that premiums are do on the 5th every month.
Even if you do take a while to make a premium payment, but still pay it on or before the due date for the first payment, your child will still be covered during that time although you may have to be reimbursed and make the payment for their treatment initially. If your child gets approved, then his or her coverage begins that same day that you applied at the office, even if you weren’t approved yet. So if you had to take your kid to the doctor or hospital while waiting for approval, that is covered, too.
If you are sending the payment through mail, then you need to take precaution to send it at least a week ahead of time, so that the office has plenty of time to receive and process the payment before the due date. If you mail it on the due date, then your child will likely lose his or her coverage. The amount isn’t too much–every family pays twenty dollars a month, whether they have two kids or eight. If you don’t pay your premium, then you will have to pay twenty dollars more in order to apply again for coverage for your child.

Florida health insurance office of insurance regulation
Reader question:
I live in Tampa Bay and have Florida health insurance. What, I wonder, does the Florida office of insurance regulation do while my medical health insurance company is denying all of my claims and screwing me over?
Meredith
I understand your anger, Meredith.
Sometimes you’ll get insured through your Florida health insurance and will be paying several hundred dollars every month, only to find out when it comes time that you need it, that you have nothing to show for all that money that you invested into your health care. Now you’re stuck with possibly thousands of dollars in health care bills, and it seems like there is nothing that you can do about it. There are many people around the United States that find themselves in this position, which is why it should be realized that the fact that there are forty million people uninsured is a big problem, but it does not describe the problem in its entirety.
If you believe that your Florida health insurance company is doing you wrong, though, Meredith, you don’t have to sit back and let it happen to you while you feel helpless. The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation can help you. Their job is, indeed, to regulate Florida health insurance and monitor medical health insurance companies to make sure that they are following state regulations, but individual situations can often fall through the cracks.
In order to bring your situation on your Florida health insurance policy to the attention of the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, you have to take an active step instead of simply suspecting that they are not monitoring medical health insurance companies well enough. In order to have them look into your claims dispute, you have to file a complaint with the office to bring attention to your problem. Then they will look into it and, if you are in the right, will help you resolve it.
The Office of Insurance Regulation also helps people trying to find Florida health insurance coverage. They have a list that includes the names and information about medical health insurance companies so that you have a better idea of what your choices are.
