There are three options for paying your Medicare premium.
When you signed up for your Medica Medicare plan, you chose one of the following methods for paying your premium:
- Check or money order
- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)
- Social Security check deduction (Medica Prime Solution and Advantage Solution members only, excludes Group Medicare and Signature Solution members)
Note: It can take up to three months for your Social Security check deduction to start. For EFT payments, the EFT request needs to be submitted at least 30 days prior to the date you would like it to start. While we're processing your request, you will continue to receive a monthly paper invoice and you're responsible for making sure that your plan premium is paid on time.
We'll explain these options below. If you want to change the way you pay your premium, just call Medica Customer Service at the number on the back of your Medica ID card.
Check or Money Order
Every month, you'll receive a monthly billing invoice. Include your check or money order, made out to Medica, with your payment slip and return in the pre-addressed return envelope by mail. Premiums are due monthly by the date listed on the invoice; please allow 10 days for processing.
Electronic Funds Transfer
If you are an Advantage Solution or Prime Solution member, you can have your premium deducted from your checking or savings account on a monthly basis. For more information on how to pay your premium this way, call Medica Customer Service at the number on the back of your Medica ID card.
Social Security Check Deduction
You can have your premium deducted from your monthly Social Security check (this option is not available to Group Medicare and Signature Solution members). For more information on how to pay your premium this way, call Medica Customer Service at the number on the back of your Medica ID card.
