In that case, a Department policy is enforced and overrides the School policy. The check must be made to Stanford University and received no later than the first of the month of coverage for medical coverage and no later than the 20th of the prior month for voluntary benefits. You can also bring the check to our Health Insurance Payment drop-box. Write your Stanford ID Number on each check to ensure proper credit to your account. Automatic Bank Deduction is also possible by signing the necessary form at Postdoctoral Services.
Deductions follow a different schedule than the check due dates.
Because Postdoctoral Services pays the insurance companies on monthly basis, we are unable to deposit any pre-payment for future months. If you receive a bill that you think is an error, do not pay it. You will need to file a claim with Blue Cross. You must also notify your medical group or primary care physician that you think it's an error and that you are filing a claim. Claim forms are available at Postdoctoral Services.
