2. Set Up
Set up direct deposit
Direct deposit is the fastest, most secure way to be reimbursed. You can set it up on the website or mobile app. Make sure you have your bank’s routing and account numbers.

3. Automate
Automate your premium reimbursement online to receive your reimbursement automatically!
Choose the option that works best for you and your plan.
Automatic Premium Reimbursement is for Medicare plans only and is our most convenient reimbursement method. It doesn’t need to be renewed yearly, and no supporting documents are required.
Express Reimbursement is a convenient method for paying Medicare or Individual and Family plan premiums. In most cases, no supporting documents are needed.
Recurring Premium Reimbursement is an alternative option if the other methods aren’t available. You need to include supporting documents.
For information on supporting documents, read Documentation Requirements for Reimbursement.
