Grace Period

A grace period is a time after the due date for an insurance premium during which the policy remains active and the coverage continues.

What You Can Do During the Grace Period?

  • You can pay the overdue premium without losing coverage.
  • Continue receiving healthcare services as per your plan

Importance of Grace Periods

  • Provides a safety net during financial instability
  • Helps maintain coverage without interruption due to short-term payment issues

Consequences of Missing the Grace Period

  • If the premium is not paid within the grace period, the health insurance policy may be cancelled. This leads to a lapse in coverage.
  • Once lapsed, any medical services rendered during the period of non-coverage will not be paid for by the insurer.
