Beginning in July, Premera is giving more groups access to the Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center.
Note: This tool is for Washington fully insured small and large group (51+) clients who don’t already have access to the online Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center. At this time, all other group sizes, funding types, and markets are excluded.
Many Premera small group employers already have this tool available to them.
Why are we making this change?
The Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center is designed to make benefit administration easier for you and your group clients. This platform provides easy access for benefit administrators to get monthly invoices and pay their bill online—at their convenience
and with no additional charge.
The Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center gives your group clients the power to manage their employees’ benefits quickly and easily, eliminating the need to complete and submit time-consuming forms. Your group clients can:
- 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
- Make your monthly payments and monitor payment status
- Set up and manage payment accounts, including establishing an automatic payment
How are we notifying employer groups?
We’re including a notice in next week’s Employer News e-newsletter. Additionally, employer groups will be notified directly via email approximately two to four weeks prior to the beginning of their onboarding process. In this email, they’ll receive additional
information about the Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center, steps for how to access the new tools, and links to digital training resources.
