Administering an AHP

[BACK to Chamber Home]



At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas, we’re committed to the health of your business. And are here to help provide information when administering your company’s health plan.

To get your organization started with group health insurance, we’ll get you setup with your sales representative. With a dedicated account management team, we’re here to provide you one-on-one support, training for your human resources staff and benefit assistance and education for your employees. Knowing and understanding your benefits is important to us.

Enrollment

Your rep will work with you to get the information needed to get your organization enrolled. Once those forms and process is complete, we’ll need your employees to enroll.

For enrollment, your employees will need to complete an enrollment form. They can either fill out this electronic enrollment form, or complete this paper enrollment form, complete, download and send to you. As the employer, you will need to compile all of your employees’ paper enrollment forms and email, fax or mail to your Blue Cross representative.

If your employees enroll electronically, their information will automatically get sent to our membership department. No action required on your part.

Group Administrator Manual (GAM)

The GAM is designed to:

• Provide useful information when you need it.
• Help you and your employees navigate important life events.
• Make sense of rules and regulations about health care, including employer requirements as mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

The information you need to administer your Blue Cross health plan is summarized within the manual.

Billing

Billing statement

You will receive a billing statement, which is a listing of all enrolled employees in your group and their current premiums plus any unpaid premiums (unless you’re on the automatic payment option).

Payment

When is your payment due? Your Blue Cross coverage is a prepaid health plan. Therefore, payment is due no later than the first of the month. Premiums must be submitted before claims will be paid for that period. Please make sure your remittance check or money order reflects your group number.

Two options for electronic bill payment:

eBilling

Through the online convenience of eBilling, you are able to view bills and payment activity 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You may also:

• Pay bills
• Make adjustments to bills
• Print and export bills
• Create customized reports

Go paperless by turning off paper bill

To sign up for eBilling contact Blue Cross at 800-432-3990 or talk with your Blue Cross sales representative.

Automatic payment option

Complete the Automatic Payment Option form and your employees’ premium will automatically be deducted from that account on your next premium payment due date.
