Announcement

Thank you for attending the EET renewals webinar! In case you missed it or would like a review of the webinar access the recording now.

The SGOR tool for managing group-level changes is being replaced with our Salesforce-enabled Employer Enrollment Tool (EET), providing a seamless broker experience with Blue Shield for managing small business group enrollments and renewals, and member benefits.

For more EET Renewals resources visit the Employer Enrollment Tool resource page.

EET Renewals will be available for your November renewing groups and beyond. Please reference the table below for monthly renewal timing. 

 

 

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.

Step 3: Make changes and complete open enrollment
If your client wants to make a change, submit the request and finalize your renewal and enrollment.
