The Arkansas Insurance Department has issued a 60 day freeze on the cancelling and/or non-renewal of policies for non-payment of premiums, starting April 26, 2017. It applies to Arkansans in disaster area counties who had serious property damage, injuries or loss of life because of the storms.
To get an extension, you must request it from your health plan. This is not a waiver. It is only a grace period on paying your premium.
For questions or to ask for an extension on your QualChoice policy, call 800.235.7111, ext. 7023, or email Finance_ops@qualchoice.com.
