How I Pay My Caresource Bill Each Month: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

As a Caresource member for over 3 years now, I’ve gotten into a good routine for paying my monthly premiums and any other outstanding balances Since it’s key to pay your health insurance on time to avoid any coverage lapses, I wanted to share how I easily pay my Caresource bill through the online member portal.

Below is my detailed, step-by-step walkthrough on how I login to My CareSource, view my balance, submit payments, and set up autopay – all useful tips for any Caresource member!

Logging In to My CareSource Account

The first step in paying your bill is accessing your My CareSource member account Here’s how I log in whenever I need to pay my balance

• Go to the Caresource website and click “Member Login” in the top right corner.

• On the login page, I enter my username and password.

• If you don’t have an account, you can register with your member ID, birthdate, and ZIP code.

• Once logged in, I’m taken to the My CareSource dashboard page.

The portal is available 24/7, so I can login to pay my bill anytime it’s convenient for me.

Viewing My Balance

Once I’m logged into My CareSource, I can view my current balance due. Here’s how I check my balance:

• On the left side, I click “Make a Payment” under the Billing & Payments section.

• This takes me to the payment page, where I can see my overall balance at the top.

• It gives me a breakdown of what I owe for premiums, claims, and other charges.

• I can expand each section to see details and description of the charges.

Reviewing my balance helps me understand exactly what I’m paying for that month. I look out for any weird charges and double check for errors.

Submitting My Payment on My CareSource

Time to actually pay my bill! Here are the steps I take to submit a payment through My CareSource:

• On the payment page, I first select the amount I want to pay. I can pay the minimum or full balance due.

• Next, I choose my payment method – credit card, debit card, bank account, etc.

• I enter my payment details like account number, security code, and billing address.

• Finally, I review the payment summary and submit.

Once submitted, I get a confirmation page and receipt via email. And just like that, my payment is made!

Paying Through the My CareSource Mobile App

In addition to the website, I also use the My CareSource mobile app to pay when I’m on the go. Here’s how I pay through the app:

• I tap the “Make a Payment” button on the main menu.

• I select the amount and payment method like on the website.

• The app saves my payment information, so submitting the payment only takes a few taps.

• I get text alerts when my payment is processed.

The mobile app makes paying super fast and easy anytime, anywhere!

Setting Up Recurring Payments on My CareSource

Since I don’t want to forget to pay each month, I set up autopay through My CareSource to have my premium automatically withdrawn on the 1st of every month. Here’s how I set up recurring payments:

• In My CareSource, I click my name and go to “Account Settings”

• Under Payments, I select “Recurring Payments”

• I pick the amount and date for the monthly withdrawals.

• I enter my credit card or bank account used for autopay.

• I review and confirm the details to activate autopay.

Now I don’t have to worry about missing a payment! The autopay feature gives me peace of mind that my bill is always paid on time.

Getting Balance Details and Billing Information

To pay my bill, I need to understand what makes up my balance each month. Here are some tips I use:

• I check the Explanation of Benefits (EOBs) for claim details.

• I review billing statements to see monthly breakdowns.

• I call Member Services to request specifics over the phone.

• I enabled paperless billing to get emails whenever a new EOB or bill is available.

Having all the billing details allows me to double check for errors and clarify any unknown charges.

Avoiding Late Fees and Lapsed Coverage

I make sure to take measures to avoid costly late fees and prevent my coverage from lapsing:

• I pay my premiums in full by the 1st of each month.

• I pay any outstanding balances within 30 days of the bill date.

• I enabled autopay on My CareSource for worry-free payments.

• I update my contact information so I get billing alerts and statements.

Staying on top of my payments means no surprises or hassles down the road!
