Carrier Connect

Electronic transmission of enrollment data

All medical, dental and vision insurance carriers are required to have the ability to receive enrollment data electronically (1996 HIPAA Act). This legislation prompted HR Office Carrier Connect¹ implementation.

HROffice Carrier Connect provides accurate and secure electronic communication of enrollment data from HROffice to insurance providers via a clearinghouse service. Carrier Connect links up to both HIPAA and non-HIPAA carriers such as 401K vendors.

Employees are directly connected to their benefit providers

Through HROffice Self-Service and online open enrollment, employees make their benefits elections online.

Upon HR approval, Carrier Connect compiles the benefit elections data in the government regulated ANSI 834 standard format and electronically transfers the information from the HR department to both HIPAA and non-HIPAA insurance carriers through the service.

With options for self-management or the carrier connect service; technology pushes electronic eligibility management directly to insurance carriers and benefits vendors.

Elimination of 20,000 plus documents

Carrier Connect combined with the technology of Employee Self-Service and online enrollment eradicates the paper process.

Every organization has one or more open enrollment periods a year. If a 500-person organization offers ten benefit plans with four documents per plan (each plan varying in length), you could be looking at over 20,000 documents.

The elimination of the 20,000 documents saves HR personnel time and money on paper, postage and labor while significantly increasing the accuracy of information.

• Despite the best of efforts, small yet costly mistakes are made as carriers enter data from handwritten, photo-copied and faxed enrollment forms. Through the electronic transmission of enrollment data, refusals of benefits due to inaccurate information become a thing of the past.
• Enrollment cycles can be reduced by 75% from four weeks to one week through online open enrollment and Carrier Connect.
• Some insurance carriers and benefit plan providers offer potential cash incentives to organizations that send enrollment information in the appropriate electronic format.
