How to pay your Health Connector Massachusetts insurance premium
You can pay your monthly premium to Health Connector Massachusetts through your online account, by mail, or by phone. Most people set up automatic payments so the amount comes out of their bank account on the same day each month. You need your policy number and banking information to get your free guide, and payments are due by the date shown on your bill — usually the first of the month.
The payment method you choose depends on what works for your budget and how you like to manage money. Automatic payments are the fastest way to avoid late fees, but you can also pay one month at a time if that fits better with how you get paid.
Key Takeaways
- You can pay online through your Health Connector account, by phone at 1-877-623-6765, by mail, or through automatic bank transfers.
- Automatic payments prevent missed deadlines and late fees, and you can change or cancel them anytime through your account.
- If you pay by mail, send your check or money order at least 10 days before the due date to make sure it arrives on time.
- Late payments can result in a loss of coverage, so contact Health Connector right away if you cannot pay by your due date.
- If your income changed, you may be able to lower your monthly payment by reporting the change to Health Connector.
Paying online through your Health Connector account
Log into your account at www.mahealthconnector.org using your username and password. Once you are signed in, look for the "Pay Now" or "Make a Payment" button, usually on your account dashboard or under a "Billing" section. You will need to enter the amount you want to pay and choose whether to pay from a bank account or debit card.
Online payments typically process within one to two business days. Health Connector will send you a confirmation email with a receipt number. Keep this for your records in case you need to prove you paid on time. If you do not see the payment reflected in your account within three business days, contact Health Connector customer service.
Setting up automatic monthly payments
Automatic payments take money from your bank account on the same date each month, so you never have to remember to pay. To set this up, log into your Health Connector account and look for "Automatic Payments," "Recurring Payments," or "Manage Payment Methods." You will provide your bank account number and routing number — the same information you would give for a direct deposit.
You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime through your account, and the change takes effect on your next billing cycle. If you need to pause payments because of a temporary hardship, contact Health Connector to discuss your options — they may be able to adjust your payment schedule or help you find other resources.
Paying by phone or mail
To pay by phone, call Health Connector customer service at 1-877-623-6765. Have your policy number and bank account or debit card information ready. Phone payments process the same day if you call before 5 p.m. Eastern time on a business day.
If you prefer to pay by mail, send a check or money order to the address on your bill. Write your policy number on the check so Health Connector can match it to your account. Mail payments take longer to process, so send your payment at least 10 days before the due date. Do not send cash through the mail.
What happens if you miss a payment
If your payment is not received by the due date, Health Connector will send you a notice. You usually have a grace period of 30 days to pay before your coverage ends. During this time, you can still use your insurance, but you are responsible for the unpaid amount.
If you do not pay within the grace period, your coverage will be terminated. To get coverage back, you will need to pay all the money you owe and then re-enroll in a plan. This can take several weeks. If you know you cannot pay by the due date, call Health Connector as soon as possible — they may be able to work out a payment plan or connect you with financial resources.
Lowering your payment if your income changed
Your monthly premium is based on your income when you enrolled. If your income went down — because you lost a job, had your hours cut, or had another change — you can report this to Health Connector and your payment may go down. You will need to provide proof of the income change, such as a recent pay stub, a letter from your employer, or tax documents.
To report a change, log into your account and look for "Report a Change" or "Update My Information." You can also call customer service at 1-877-623-6765. Changes usually take effect within one to two billing cycles. If your income went up, you are required to report that as well, and your payment will increase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pay my Health Connector premium with a credit card?
Yes, you can pay with a debit card or credit card through your online account or by phone. Some credit card companies charge a fee for paying bills this way, so check with your card issuer first. Automatic payments must come from a bank account, not a credit card.
What if I cannot afford my monthly payment?
Contact Health Connector customer service at 1-877-623-6765 to discuss your situation. You may be able to lower your payment by reporting an income change, or they can connect you with local resources that help with insurance costs. Do not skip payments without calling first — coverage can end if you miss the grace period.
How do I know if my payment was received?
Log into your Health Connector account and check your billing history. You should see the payment listed with the date it was processed. You will also receive a confirmation email for online or phone payments. If you paid by mail, allow 10 business days before contacting customer service to confirm.
Can I change my payment due date?
Health Connector sets your due date based on when your coverage started, and you cannot change it. However, if automatic payments do not work with your pay schedule, you can pay manually on any day before the due date. Call customer service if you want to discuss payment timing options.
What happens if I overpay my premium?
If you pay more than you owe, the extra amount will be credited to your next month's bill. You can also request a refund by contacting Health Connector customer service. Keep your receipt so you can reference the overpayment amount when you call.
