Direct Billing Services
Reduce premium leakage with simplicity and convenience.
Benefitfocus’ Direct Billing Services offer a simple, convenient way for your employees on leave, as well as retirees, to make their regular premium payments. We’ll invoice and notify participants according to your business rules, collect payment and remit on your behalf—without the need for manual intervention and providing an experience that is easy and non-intrusive for participants.
