Q: Can I make an online payment on the last day of the month and not lose my coverage?
A: If the last day of the month is a normal weekday (not a weekend or Federal holiday) and the online payment is completed by 3:00 pm (AZ), your payment will post that evening to your account.

We suggest you schedule your payment for at least three business days before the actual payment due date.

A: Yes, you can schedule an automatic payment that will process on the due date which is the 15th of each month – if the 15th of the month is a holiday or weekend, it will be the next business day after the 15th of the month.
Please Note: If the account is past due, then you must process a payment and then wait one to two business days for the payment to post before setting up automatic payments.
For example, if you owe a premium and it is after the 15th of the month, your account is past due and you must process a payment. After two business days, the system should show that you have a zero balance. You can then set up an automatic payment that will show “pending”. Your automatic payment will process for the amount on your premium billing statement on the 15th day of the next month.
