Helpful Hints

Your vendors' websites provide a wealth of information for both you and your employees. 

Employees can often look up benefits, check claim information, inquire about account balances, search for health care providers, use the provider comparison tools, rate their medical professional, take a health risk assessment,  obtain information about specific drug conditions, discover ways to lower prescription drug costs, etc.

Employers can use online tools to receive billing information, check eligibility, process bill payments, conduct online enrollments, obtain  vendor forms, receive claim reporting, etc. in addition to all of the services that employees have access to.
