SHBP Systems

There are certain SHBP Systems that Employers need access to for their Designated Benefits Administrators to properly administer SHBP coverage to its employees.  For SHBP purposes, a Designated Benefits Administrator is an individual employed in an Employer’s Human Resources, Finance, Payroll, or similarly situated departments that manage employee health insurance, premium payments and/or Employer Contributions. 

SHBP recommends you provide access to at least two employees who specifically handle one or more of those areas, so one of those employees can serve as a backup.  Please review the chart below to determine which of your employees require access to the applicable SHBP System.  Then select the SHBP System(s) to learn more and complete the required access agreement:
