  • Helpful Hint from BCCD! During a grace period, the co-payment may be reduced if income is lower during the grace period. The co-pay would change as of the first of the month after the grace period starts.
  • Refer to the Create or Update a Co-Pay wizard for assistance with updating the co-payment.
