What Do I Need to Know About Web Registration?

posted on March 02, 2009 12:18

Web registration is now open. Employers, or their insurance representative, must register the employer’s intent to participate in the Access to Health Insurance program. That registration must be done online through this website. Paper registrations will not be accepted. When ready, the link to the online registration will be found on the homepage of this site under; I need help with… and will read, Click here to register.

Web registration will not close when 1,000 slots have been reserved. It will remain open indefinitely. It is quite possible that many more than 1,000 slots will need to be reserved in order to enroll 1,000 participants. There are several reasons for this:

Some businesses reserve more slots than they need.
Employers might decide not to participate.
Individuals who do apply may not qualify.

We encourage employers to continue to register for slots and reserve a spot on the Access to Health Insurance waitlist.

This section has been developed to let you preview the web registration process. It includes samples of the screens you will see when you register, as well as some details about the information you will be asked to provide when you are ready to complete the web registration.

When you initiate the web registration the first screen you will see looks like this:

This is an introduction screen. It identifies the minimum program requirements for a small business to participate. At the bottom of the page it notes the total number of available slots for premium assistance, the number of reserved slots, and the number of pending slots (applications that have been approved pending the employer's decision to proceed). It is possible many of the reserved or pending slots might never be taken for a variety of reasons.

The second screen you will see looks like this:

The second screen requires you to enter the business information. If the physical and mailing addresses of the business are the same, you do not need to enter it twice.

When completing the line that asks for the e-mail address of the person we should notify for submission of your application packet, we recommend that you enter the e-mail address of your insurance representative. A notification will be sent to this e-mail when it is time to complete the next step in the application process.

This screen also asks you to identify the total number of employees in the business, as well as the number of adult applicants requesting premium assistance. When identifying the number of adult applicants requesting premium assistance, do not include the children who may request premium assistance. Include only the number of employees and spouses that are interested in applying.

The third and final screen you will see looks like this:

The third screen confirms that you have submitted your intent to participate. It also gives you a confirmation number. You should print this screen for your records. The Family Medicaid Unit will notify you when it is time to submit your application packet materials. Notification will proceed on a first-come, first-serve basis. That notification will go to the e-mail address listed on the registration.
