Our 2025 schedule for small group enrollment submissions for Business BlueEssentials^SM and BlueMeasure^SM  are now available! Download the schedule here. As a reminder, we encourage you to follow the dates in PHASE I of the schedule to ensure a timely delivery of ID cards and fulfillment materials. Phases II and III groups risk not having pharmacy eligibility and benefits available by the desired effective date. 

Also available are the new Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA) Administrative Services Agreement and Payroll Express form. These forms are required to be uploaded into Group Solutions for all new groups.

ICHRA Enrollment Forms and Tools: 

• Download and complete the ICHRA Administration Service Agreement.

Submitting Group Benefit Changes at Renewal

Group Cancellations 
If a group wishes to cancel their group coverage, we ask that they fill out the Coverage Cancellation Request and return it to Group.Membership@bcbssc.com or fax to 803-264-0143. The completed form needs to be submitted a week prior to the group requested termination date to stop further claim payments.
