COBRA: Member Portal Overview
An integral part of our broad service is offering the Member Self-Service Portal. The Member Portal is designed to give you secure, 24 hour access to manage your continuation under the employer’s existing group health plans. We encourage you to use the powerful tools contained in the Member Portal for your COBRA duration. Examples of the information and tools you’ll find on the Member Portal include:
- View Payment Information (last received and next due)
- Look up Coverage Information (plans and critical dates)
- Download copies of all communications we’ve sen to you
- Get a form to signup for automatic monthly withdrawals (ACH) from a checking or savings account (no fees)
- Make Payments Online (VISA, MasterCard, or E-Check)($20 convenience fee associated with each payment)
Please see COBRA: How To Log Into Your Member Portal And Make Your Election for information on getting logged into your portal.
