Every time there is premium or refund activity on an MEPD case… Be issued to the member as a record of the activity. The premiums for ongoing months are due by the 14th day of the month the premium is intended to cover. The due date printed on the top half of monthly MEPD Billing Statements is the last working day of the month before the month the premium is intended to cover. Use of the earlier due date is meant to encourage members to pay premiums before the first of the month instead of waiting until the 14th. When an MEPD premium is assessed for a month earlier than 24 months before the current system month, there are special procedures for billing and crediting the premiums. Send an inquiry to the DHS SPIRS Help Desk for assistance. If an MEPD member requests a new bill, see 14-C, STMT = MEPD Billing Statement Screen.
