Group administrators are finding out that interacting with GHI regarding their group's health coverage is getting easier. The new myGHI for Groups, a powerful tool for performing essential administrative functions quickly and easily online, is now available through a special secure GHI.com Web portal to groups of 51 or more members with GHI hospital, medical, or dental plans. Offered to both insured and ASO groups, this service will enable you to conduct the following tasks at your convenience, from any PC:

• Perform full roster management
• Enroll new employees and their eligible dependents
• Update member demographic information
• Terminate, reinstate, or transfer a member
• Request replacement ID cards
• View benefit descriptions
• Verify transactions through an audit function
• Review and print current and prior billing and accounts receivable records (available for select groups)
• Coming Soon! In the first quarter of 2008 we will introduce a special feature that will allow you to expedite new enrollments by distributing an electronic enrollment form your group members can complete and submit to you online.

You can use the portal yourself or authorize and assign staff members to perform specific responsibilities and tasks appropriate to their role in your organization.

Positive feedback from GHI clients

The reviews are in regarding GHI's group Web portal, and the feedback has been positive. Sollette G. Baker, Manager of Benefits Programs for Barnard College, participated in the initial myGHI for Groups pilot program, and has been very impressed with the portal. “It’s really great—especially the enrollment functions. I find the portal very easy to use. It speeds up the process so that new employees can receive their ID cards quickly.” Stuart Wachnin, Fund Administrator for Bakery Local 3, agreed with Ms. Baker’s assessment, stating, “GHI's new group Web portal provides a better, faster, more hands-on approach to enrollment.”

How do I sign up?

This new service was introduced in a pilot form for select groups. Based on the input we received, the group Web portal was refined and enhanced and is now available to all qualifying GHI groups with 51 or more members. If you have not already been contacted by your GHI Account Executive about when you can start to take advantage of the myGHI for Groups online transaction tool, you will be hearing from us soon. Your GHI Account Executive will provide you with the unique GHI group identification number and group PIN number you will need to log on to the myGHI for Groups Web portal.
