Modica Choice will provide 30 days' written notice of Premiums and coverage changes, including renewal of this Contract. Medica Choice will give 30 days' written notice for amendments to this Contract. The Employer may make adjustments to its payment of Premiums for any additions or terminations of Members submitted by the Employer but not yet reflected in Medica Choice's calculations. All changes to enrollment will be made as specified in Appendix A. However, no retroactive credit will be granted for any change occurring more than 60 days prior to the date Medica Choice received notification of the change by the Employer nor will retroactive credit be granted for any month in which a Member received Benefits. In no event will a refund of Premiums for more than 60 days be made to the Employer for termination of a Member's coverage when the Employer has failed to notify Medica Choice of such change. A full Premium rate will apply to an enrollment effective between the first and fifteenth of the month. No Premium rate will apply to an enrollment effective between the sixteenth and the last day of the month. All terminations will be effective at the end of the month in which they occur and a full Premium rate will apply for the month. GRACE PERIOD The grace period for the Employer's payment of monthly Premiums as provided above will be 10 days. If all or a portion of the Premiums due remain unpaid at the end of the grace period, Medica Choice may assess a finance charge of 12% per annum for the unpaid amount and terminate this Contract without notice.
