Today, Dr. Raul Ruiz (D-Palm Desert) sent a letter to David Jones, Commissioner for the California Department of Insurance; Diana Dooley, the Secretary of California Health and Human Services; and Peter V. Lee, the Executive Director of Covered California, urging they extend the period for consumers to pay their healthcare premium in a one time, first payment, 30 day grace period. This letter comes after reports of insurance companies being unable to confirm enrollment and send invoices due to administrative delays and a backlog of unprocessed applications causing consumers to miss their first payment deadline.
