Working With Us

Accessing the Broker Portal

The broker portal allows access to account management and quoting tools to help you work with your clients, and your team. If you need help accessing your broker portal or would like assistance with a group client, please contact your Account Team at (207) 402-3353. For questions regarding an individual Member, please contact Member Services at (855) 624-6463.

Commissions

Broker commissions are paid no later than the end of the month for any commissions earned from the previous month. If a broker takes over an existing group account, Health Options requires a signed Broker of Record Letter from the employer group before commissions can be paid. Broker of Record Letters must be submitted on the employer group’s company letterhead and should be submitted directly to your Health Options Account Manager for processing.

Provider Network

Accessing care outside of Maine

National plans offer in-network coverage through the First Health® network, which provides access to thousands of hospitals and almost 1 million providers.

Transparency Information

Transparency in Coverage Regulations

Transparency regulations require health insurers and group health plans to disclose pricing information in machine-readable files (MRF). In-network files include negotiated rates with in-network providers; out-of-network files include allowed amounts and billed charges from out-of-network providers. Public access to these files may be found on this page. The presentation of MRFs follow the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defined layout and format and will be updated every 30 days.

Machine-readable files are not meant to be consumer-friendly—they are a digital representation of data or information in a file that can be imported or read by a computer system. To understand Member benefits and cost sharing, please contact Member Services at (855) 624-6463.
