Section 182-26-230. Small employer one-time exception to monthly group premium payment deadline.

The HIP program may grant small employers a one-time exception to the monthly group premium payment deadline as specified and agreed upon in the HIP employer agreement. Small employers are allowed to utilize the exception only once. To utilize the one-time exception, the small employer must satisfy all of the following three steps:

(1) The participating small employer must make a request to the HIP, in writing or over the phone, of its intent to utilize the one-time exception to the monthly group premium payment deadline.

(2) The participating small employer receives written acknowledgment from the HIP that its one-time payment deadline is approved; the exception must be received and approved by the last business day of the month preceding coverage.

(3) The participating small employer makes the full monthly group premium payment to the HIP by the 10th day of the month of coverage.
