Just wanted to share my ignorance with others so that they don't make a similar mistake.

I was auto renewed for a health insurance policy with VHI unbeknownst to me. I've never had any policy auto renew before (after a lifetime of paying car/house/travel/health insurances). I ended up paying for two health insurance policies for one calendar year. My mistake was opting for VHI monthly payment option - I usually pay, once off, in full for any insurance policy.

VHI informed me that, since they didn't hear back from me at renewal time, they auto renewed me. I didn't think they could do this but now I am wiser.

Anyways, this might be obvious for everyone else. But it wasn't for me.

I've always received an email notification before the renewal date and it's given me plenty of time to stay or move from one insurer to another.
