Top 3 Facts About Provider One & Your Health Insurance
If you are an IP and Health Benefits Trust insurance member, here are the top three things to know about how Provider One will work with your insurance.
Effective with your May paycheck:
- IPOne will attempt to automatically deduct the $25 co-premium payment from your first paycheck.
- If there are insufficient funds to cover the $25, another attempt will be made from your second paycheck (on the 15th).
- If IPOne is unable to auto-deduct the co-premium from either paychecks, you will receive a billing statement for the $25 co-premium from the HBT.
Please note: You will not see any health insurance deductions from your paychecks in April. Your coverage will not be affected.
For the next few months while we work with DSHS on the transition to IPOne, your co-premium will be due in the same month as your coverage.
(Example: Co-premium deductions for May coverage will be taken in May. As long as you are eligible, the changes to the deduction schedule will not affect your healthcare coverage.)
We sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation with these changes, as we try to make your experience during the IPOne transition as smooth as possible.
