Starting in January 2008, your clients can pay premiums on active group accounts via our automated telephone system , at any time, using the group's checking account information. The toll free access number is 1-888-778-2005 and this service will be offered free of charge. Additional details on this convenient new feature will be included with your clients' premium bill.

To use this fast and easy payment method, your clients will need:

• The group or account number.
• The group's checking account number.
• The group's bank routing number.
• The payment amount.

Once the payment is submitted via the automated telephone system, please allow three to five business days for posting of the premiums.

At Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, we strive to improve the service we deliver to our groups. We hope this exciting new feature will assist with the premium payment process. This is just another way we are Making Healthcare Work.
