Paying for Your Health Care
✓ Update your bank's autopay
If you are not enrolled in Vita's SurePay program, and instead pay your monthly premiums to Vita through your bank's automatic bill pay, be sure your payments reflect your new rates for 2020. Log into My Benefits to verify your plan rates.
✓ Enroll in Vita's SurePay
Vita's SurePay program will automatically debit you bank account for your health care premiums each month, and will automatically adjust to the new premium amount each January or anytime you change your benefits. To enroll in SurePay, complete the enrollment form and return it to Vita. Download the SurePay Enrollment Form.
✓ Set Up Medicare Crossover Billing
Retirees enrolled in a Medicare Supplement Plan -- either the Blue Shield Retiree Medical Plan or the Health Net COB -- may be able to have Medicare and the health plan automatically work together to process your claims. This is called "crossover billing," which means that after Medicare pays its portion of the claim, they notify the plan of any outstanding balance, so there is less claims work for you to manage. To set it up:
- Call the health plan's member care services number, found on the back of your medical insurance ID card.
- Have your Medicare card handy; they'll need to know your 11-digit Medicare number and the effective date of your Medicare Part A and Part B coverage.
