As a benefits administrator (BA), you can ask questions using the resources provided below.
Please do not share the resources on this page with your employees.
Resources for employees are located on the contact the plans webpage.
Outreach and Training
The Washington State Health Care Authority's (HCAs) Outreach & Training (O&T) team is here to assist you with the administration of PEBB benefits.
Contact O&T for PEBB-related requests, including requests for training, assistance with determining employee eligibility, processing enrollment, and maintenance of employee insurance records through the Benefits 24/7 online enrollment system.
Send a secure message through HCA Support
HCA Support is a secure, web-based messaging system that allows you to send documents and communicate directly with O&T, PEBB Accounting, and other departments within the PEBB Program by using the designated tile named, "Benefits administrator inquiry".
It's important that BAs use the designated tile named, "Benefits administrator inquiry". Using the "General Support" tile will lead to a delayed response, as your inquiry will be initially routed to units at HCA that are outside of O&T.
- Send a secure message to O&T through HCA Support.

Contacting the plans
To ensure accurate and timely assistance, BAs should instruct employees to contact their individual plans for questions related to their PEBB benefits, such as medical (with vision), dental, LTD, life and AD&D. For example, if an employee has questions about their medical benefits, claims, or needs a new medical ID card, they should reach out to their medical plan directly.
If an employee is unable to resolve their issue through their plan, BAs can assist by contacting Outreach and Training (O&T) through HCA Support on behalf of the employee. Employees should not be instructed to contact O&T directly.
Additional contacts for benefits administrators
In some cases, BAs may need to contact the administrators directly.
