How much time can I take off between my current contract and my extension?

You can take up to 28 consecutive days off between your current contract and your extension. However, there are three important factors to consider to avoid surprises: Facility-Driven Requirements, Trusted Requirements, and Medical Benefits.

While this may seem like a lot to navigate, the Trusted Care Team will guide you through each step to keep the process smooth and seamless.

Trusted will work with your facility to determine how they handle extended time off.
Facilities may either:

If your facility treats it as a new contract, we’ll walk you through any extra requirements. Most of the work happens behind the scenes, so the impact on you is usually minimal.

Even if the facility processes it as an extension, you may still need to complete small compliance updates — like refreshed exams or checklists — to make sure nothing expires during your time off. Our Compliance Team will guide you through anything needed.

Important: There is no immediate action required from you — your Care Team will keep you informed every step of the way.

If you take more than 28 consecutive days off, Trusted will treat your return as a new contract (even if the facility still considers it an extension).

This means:

The process will look a little different than a standard extension, but our team will make sure it’s as seamless as possible.

If you have insurance through Trusted, an extended gap could impact your coverage.
