Once connected to a representative, they will ask you for some key details:

• Your Healthfirst account number – This is the long number unique to your policy. Have this handy to pull up your account quickly.

• Your date of birth – This is used to confirm your identity for security purposes.

Choose the option that works best for you. Make sure to have the necessary account information handy.

4. Provide Payment Details

With your payment method selected, the representative will collect the details needed to process the payment:

• Credit card number, expiration date, and CVV code

• Bank routing and account number

• HSA/FSA account information

Double check that all of the details you provide are accurate to avoid any issues processing the payment.

5. Confirm the Payment Details

Before finalizing the payment, the representative will confirm all of the key details with you:

• Payment amount

• Payment method

• Account charged

• Date of the payment

This is your chance to catch any errors and correct them before the payment processes. Confirm that all sounds correct.

6. Receive Payment Confirmation

Once everything is confirmed, your payment will be processed right away. The representative will provide you with a confirmation number that your payment was received and paid successfully.

And that’s it – you’ve just paid your Healthfirst bill by phone! Quick and painless.

Tips for an Easy Phone Payment Experience

To make sure your phone payment process goes smoothly, here are some useful tips:

• Have all your documentation in one place – Account number, billing statement, payment information, etc. This avoids delays looking up details.

• Call from a quiet environment – Reduce background noise so the rep can clearly hear your payment details when you provide them.

• Pay early in the billing cycle – Don’t wait until the last minute! Give yourself plenty of buffer time in case an issue comes up.

• Opt for autopay – Take phone payments out of the equation by setting up automatic monthly payments directly from your bank account.

• Avoid peak call times – Early morning, midday, and late afternoon tend to be the least busy phone times.

And that covers everything you need to easily pay your Healthfirst premium over the phone! It really is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to take care of that monthly bill. Just call up, provide your details, make the payment, and be on your way. Easy as can be.

Give it a try next time your Healthfirst statement comes due. And if you ever have any other questions or issues with your bill, don’t hesitate to call. The member services team is always happy to help get things sorted out.
