HMSA offers various healthcare plans that provide members with access to medical services, preventive care, and wellness programs. Understanding your rights and eligibility for refunds is essential for managing your healthcare expenses effectively. Refund eligibility typically pertains to specific scenarios tied to plan benefits, billing arrangements, and account management.

Members may qualify for refunds in the following situations:

• Overpayment of Premiums: If a member has mistakenly overpaid a premium due to a billing cycle misalignment, they may be eligible for a refund of the excess amount.
• Cancellation of Services: If a member cancels specific services that they no longer wish to utilize within the applicable time frame, they might be eligible for a refund for any pre-paid portion.
• Billing Adjustments: In cases where a billing adjustment is required due to membership changes, members may qualify for a refund for any discrepancies reflected in their invoices.
• Eligibility Revisions: If a member’s eligibility for specific services is revised, refunds may be issued for premiums associated with those services that are no longer covered.
• Plan Changes: Members who undergo plan changes that adjust their coverage may find themselves eligible for a refund if the new plan results in a lower premium than previously paid.

For specific inquiries regarding refund eligibility or to request a refund, members are encouraged to contact HMSA customer service for personalized assistance and guidance.
