Accidentally double enrolled and charged?

Okay so! I think I’m being double-charged by Premera. I originally selected to enroll in a bronze plan back in December on healthcare.gov but did not ever go through with paying the premium, and ultimately decided to go with a gold plan which I paid the premium for on January 15th. The total premium for this plan is $780, so when I logged on to pay it this month I was very surprised to see a balance of over $1300 as well as invoiced from December and early January before my intended plan was even started.

I did pay a $411 bill on February 7th which I thought was part of my intended plan, but I’m worried that it happened to be a bill from the old plan.

Am I able to be refunded or apply that payment to the intended plan? I do NOT have $1300 to shell out on 2 plans and I’m worried about losing coverage.

If it’s helpful at all, I also qualify for a special enrollment period until March I believe. Kinda freaking out so, any advice would be very appreciated!!

edit for additional information : the $780 intended plan is also covered by ICHRA through my work, and have not used any medical resources so far this year
