Charleston, S.C. – April 12, 2011 – Benefitfocus and Tufts Health Plan announced that Tufts Health Plan has expanded its use of the BENEFITFOCUS® Platform, offering online billing to its large group, small group and individual customers.

Based in Watertown, Mass., Tufts Health Plan serves nearly 750,000 members in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and is nationally recognized for its commitment to providing innovative, high-quality health care coverage. Benefitfocus has provided Tufts Health Plan with online enrollment technology for its small and large group markets since 2007.

With this expanded agreement, Tufts Health Plan’s fully insured groups use the Benefitfocus Platform to view, pay and adjust bills online.

The Benefitfocus Platform’s Electronic Invoice Presentment & Payment (EIPP) technology allows Tufts Health Plan to:

• Provide an online portal for customers to view and pay bills
• Offer a variety of payment options, including recurring AutoPay
• View and approve invoice adjustment requests
• Offer list billing to fully insured and ASO groups and accept binder payments for individual customers
