Child Health Plus Premium Collections Resume
Published on June 30, 2023

Child Health Plus (CHP) insurers did not enforce premium collection for enrollees with subsidized coverage between March 2020 – April 30, 2023. Beginning May 1, 2023, CHP enrollees with subsidized premiums will be responsible for paying premiums for all months of coverage, though there is now a 30-day grace period for premium payment, meaning the plan will not disenroll an enrollee with a subsidized premium until 30 days after the premium is due. This grace period does not necessarily apply for enrollees whose premiums are not subsidized; in these cases, plans have discretion with how to handle late premium payment.
