Your single source for renewals, quotes and maintenance
Renew your groups by following these three easy steps:
Step 1: View your group’s plan(s) and premium
Review group(s) renewal information packets/microsites from Blue Shield through Shield Renewals.
Step 2: Review options
“Shop & Enroll” using the online renewal tool to help decide which clients should stay with their plan or move to a new one. If your client renews in their current plan(s), instruct them to pay their bill, and recertify when required as a small business.

If your client wants to make a change, submit the request and finalize your renewal and enrollment.
