If an SCHIP client fails to pay the premium to receive coverage, will they no longer be eligible for SCHIP?
Yes, failure to pay the monthly premium can lead to termination of coverage. The bills sent for the monthly premiums will indicate how much has been owed for 30 and 60 days. If the client has not paid the premiums for three months, HRSA will terminate the client’s participation in the SCHIP program. A terminated client will be able to apply again, but will be required to wait three months and pay past due premiums in full.
