Frequently asked questions

I recently enrolled in a LifeWise health plan. How do I make my first payment?

We mail your monthly bill, also called an invoice, as soon as we receive your enrollment. Your invoice will include your payment options, which are also listed above. It will also include your subscriber ID, which you’ll need to pay online or by phone.

The quickest way to make your first payment is to pay by phone or create an online account. Find out more about these options above.

Can I pay via bill pay through my bank?

Yes, you can set up bill pay through your bank. If you were previously advised that this option was not available, please know that you can now use bank bill pay to pay your monthly premium if your bank offers this service. Refer to the “Pay with bank bill pay” section above for important information.

How do I update my autopay payment method?

To update your autopay payment method, sign in to your account at lifewise.com/my-account. Once you’ve signed in, select the "Manage Recurring Payments" button on the right-hand side of the page, and then select "EDIT" on your existing autopay to update or add a new payment method. Remember, only the subscriber on your plan can set up or update autopay.

What happens if I miss a payment?

Note: We are currently complying with recent requirements from our regulatory entities regarding grace periods. Current information may differ from the information you see here.

  • Your payment is due on the first of each month.
  • If you receive a subsidy to help pay for your plan, you have a 90-day grace period.
  • Your coverage is good through the last day of the month for which Premera receives a subsidy payment. You may not have access to your benefits during months 2 and 3 of your grace period.
  • If you do not receive a subsidy, including off-exchange plans, you have a 30-day grace period.
  • If you voluntarily cancel your plan, you may not be able to enroll in another plan until the next open enrollment period, unless you have a qualifying life event.
  • If you have an unpaid health plan premium and choose to reenroll with Premera, you may have to pay unpaid health plan premiums from the past 12 months.

My income recently changed which impacts my ability to pay my monthly bill. What are my options?

  • Based on your current income, you may qualify for an advance premium tax credit (subsidy) to help pay your monthly premium. You may also be eligible for low-cost or no-cost coverage from the state.
  • Start by reporting your change in income to Washington Healthplanfinder by visiting their website or by calling their customer support at 855-923-4633.

What if I need to cancel my plan?

  • If you purchased your plan directly from LifeWise, you can call customer service at 800-817-3056.
  • If you purchased your plan from Washington Healthplanfinder, please call their customer support at 855-923-4633. You cannot cancel your plan by calling LifeWise customer service.

Who can and cannot pay my health plan bill?

There are some restrictions on who can pay your monthly bill from LifeWise.

LifeWise cannot accept payment from a sole proprietor or business account—even if it’s your own. We also cannot take payment from an employer, a charity, or a healthcare provider for individual health plans, except as required by law. These payments will be returned and you will need to resubmit payment using an accepted method.

The following people or organizations can pay your monthly bill:

  • You – through a personal account, not a business account.
  • A member of your family, such as a spouse or parent.
  • An Indian tribe, tribal organization or urban Indian organization.
  • State and federal government programs and their grantees.
  • Ryan White HIV/AIDS Programs (and their community-based organizations like Evergreen Health Program).
  • LyfeBank
  • Pierce County Project Access (if you purchased your plan through WA Healthplanfinder).

Failure to comply with these guidelines could leave you open to IRS penalties; contact you tax or legal advisor for more information. Your payment will be returned to you and you’ll need to find another way to pay your bill. If you're unable to pay with an accepted method, your plan could be canceled due to non-payment. If your plan is canceled, you may not be able to enroll again until the next open enrollment period.
