This guide will cover how an employer allows access to the broker using the broker number. Logging in as a Broker Where do I go to access Online Account Management? Accessing Online Account Management is the same for Brokers as it is for Employers. The brokers need to log onto the health plan website that they requested their access for in the single sign-on request form. Once they are on that site, they need to enter the Employer Channel and click the Login button located in the left hand navigation box. (See screen shot below)

(See screen shot below) Their login ID and initial password were included in the letter set via secure e-mail from the Group Administration WEB Support Team. The first time the broker logs into Online Account Management, they will be prompted to change their password and place a check mark in the agreement terms and click the submit button.

Employer Groups - Granting Access to Brokers How do Employer Groups grant access?

Once they are in the Manage tab, they will see the section called Manage Broker. (See screen shot below) Once the employer has entered the Manage Broker section of the Manage tab, they need to click on Add a Broker.

Once the system finds the broker number just entered, the employer will be presented with the screen below. On this screen, the employer has the ability to limit the access that the broker is granted to their account or grant them access to all areas. Once they fill out what they want the broker to access, they need to click the submit button at the bottom of the screen. They will then be presented with the screen below which states that they have granted access to the broker.
