August 10, 2023What is happening?
Beginning this month, Premera Blue Cross is expanding access to the billing and payment features within the Enrollment Center.
Note: Many employer groups already have these features available to them.
Why are we making this change?
The Billing, Payment, and Enrollment Center is designed to eliminate time-consuming email and paper application submissions – making benefit administration easier for you and your group clients. It also provides easy access for benefit administrators to get monthly invoices and pay their bill online at their convenience and with no additional charge.
This gives group administrators the power to manage their employees’ benefits quickly and easily, eliminating the need to complete and submit time-consuming forms.
You’ll be able to:
- Make benefit elections or corrections for employees
- Change employee and dependent demographic information
- Cancel employees’ benefit elections
- Add, terminate, and rehire employees
- Set up additional administrator logins to access enrollment activities
- Run census, benefit, and change history reports
- Access your monthly premium billing and remit payment electronically
- Make your monthly payments and monitor payment status
- Set up and manage payment accounts, including establishing automatic payment
How are we notifying employer groups?
Employer groups will receive a notice in next week’s Employer News e-newsletter. Groups will also be notified directly via email approximately two weeks prior to the beginning of their onboarding process. In this email they’ll receive additional information about the Billing, Payment, and Enrollment Center, steps for how to access the new tools, and additional digital training resources.
Contact your Premera account representative for more information.
