Does your business have UPMC for group health insurance? If so, this important notice is for you.
As of April, UPMC will no longer send their clients paper bills. Instead, commercial accounts must receive and review their bills through Employer OnLine – an online portal to help you manage your group health account.
You will also need to pay your bills using Employer OnLine.
While some of our clients have already registered for this online portal, many still have questions about using this portal. To help you navigate this change, we’ve put together a guide to the most frequently asked questions we are getting about Employer OnLine.
In this article, we discuss the following:
- How to register for your company’s Employer OnLine account
- How to pay your bill on Employer OnLine
- Permitting your Group Health Insurance Advisor to help you use your Employer OnLine account
- Other features on Employer OnLine that may benefit your company
How do we get registered on UPMC’s Employer OnLine?
The primary contact at your company will need to set up your company’s online portal. After the initial setup, your primary contact can grant others in your organization permission to create their own login for the portal.
To register for your company’s online account, the main contact will need to follow these three steps:
- Visit UPMC’s Employer OnLine registration page using this link: https://upmchealthplan.upmc.com/webportals/requests/eolregistration/eolsecurityrequest.aspx
- Click the purple button that reads “Register Employer OnLine Account.” This will take you to a page where you will fill in the required information to establish an online account. Your required information will include your group name number. You can find this six-digit number on your renewal and your ID Card.
- You will receive an email affirming that your request has been approved. This email will also ask you to click on a link to create a Username and Password for the account. You will also be asked to set up two-step authentication for the portal.
- Once you are registered, you can access your account at https://www.upmchealthplan.com/employers/.
How do we pay our bill on Employer OnLine? Is it secure?
You will need to start paying your bill through the Employer OnLine portal in April. You can do this by clicking on the Billing and Payments tab on the Employer OnLine website.
As of April 2023, UPMC requires its clients to pay their bills through Employer OnLine.
Your payment through this portal is secure.
Can Baily Insurance help us utilize the Employer OnLine portal?
For us to assist you on your Employer OnLine portal, you will need to authorize us to help you. Your primary contact can do this when they set up your portal.
Your primary contact will also need to grant access to any HR professionals at your organization who will need to access your online portal.
