Premera Blue Cross’ Temporary extension of Grace Period

We’re here to help support you and to keep our communities safe during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR CLIENTS AS OF MARCH 18, 2020:

  • As of March 17, 2020, Premera Blue Cross extended the 30-day premium grace period to 60 days for our fully insured groups.
  • This extended grace period is in place to ensure your employees are continuing to receive the care and medications they need during this critical time.
  • There are restrictions that generally do not allow carriers to offer premium discounts or waivers to employers.
  • However, in Washington State, the governor’s office has compiled this partial list of resources to support economic retention and recovery, including Economic Injury Disaster Loans, tax filing extensions, and employer and worker assistance. 

This is a fluid situation. We’ll continue to update and expand on our approaches as we work through emerging issues and coordinate regulatory and federal entities. If you have any questions, please contact your Premera account manager.
