Small Group News

What is happening?
Beginning this month, Premera is giving more small groups access to the Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center.
Note: 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 eliminate time-consuming email and paper application submissions – making benefit administration easier for you and your group clients! The Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center will also provide easy access for benefit administrators to get monthly invoices and pay their bill online—at their convenience and with no additional charge.
Additionally, 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 will 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
How are we notifying employer groups?
We are including a notice in next week’s Employer News e-newsletter. Additionally, employer groups will be notified directly via email approximately two weeks prior to the beginning of their onboarding process. In this email they will receive additional information about the Billing, Payment & Enrollment Center, steps for how to access the new tools, and additional digital training resources.
