Health insurance terminated due to nonpayment, how screwed am I?

I’ve had Kaiser Permanente (WA) for a couple years now, and changed my health plan tier in July. I had autopay set up for my account, but apparently your first payment on any new/updated plan has to be manual; I didn’t know that and missed three month’s payments and they terminated my account.

I know it’s my fault and that I messed up by not being on top of this, but are there any chances I can get my plan reinstated and the past couple months covered? I’ve gone ahead and paid all the premiums I missed, for what it’s worth.

​

This is kind of a nightmare situation for me, I’m currently being treated for cancer and if I have to pay without coverage for the past three months it’d take more than I have saved. What’s ironic is my missed premiums are quite low compared to what I’ve been paying out of pocket recently for treatment as well.

​

Going to try to call them first thing tomorrow, but I figure it’s worth asking if any of you have experience with similar situations.
