To provide relief for policyholders/certificate holders residing in Florida and affected by Hurricane Idalia, Aflac through Aflac Benefit Solutions will provide a premium grace period starting Sept. 1, 2023, and ending Oct. 31, 2023. This grace period also provides an extension of filing deadlines for claims; relaxation of prior authorization, precertification, and referral requirements; access to appropriate out-of-network providers due to unavailability of in-network providers or the members’ displacement; and leniency for any other action required under the certificate. A replacement copy of the certificate will be provided upon request by the member.
