Introducing Our New Commission Portal
We have designed a secure online portal just for our active Harvard Pilgrim Health Care agents. Our new commission portal was designed with the busy agent in mind. It has been streamlined for ease of use.
The portal will allow you to:
- View and Print your commission statements in PDF and Excel
- View prior payments on a specific policy
- Check the status of your new policies
- Statuses updated in the portal twice a week
- Agencies and GA’s will also be able to view policies written by their downline agents
Important Notes:
- Status reports will no longer be emailed, as you can now view that information in the portal
- Your commission statement will still be emailed as a .pdf, but will also be accessible for download on the portal in .pdf and excel formats.
If you have any questions about getting started, please reach us at: commissions@garityadvantage.com or 800-234-9488

UHC Brokers – Make Sure You Register Your Website
CMS has been taking an increased interest in agent created websites. As a result, many of our carrier partners Compliance Departments have also been very focused on this issue.
United Healthcare’s contract requires all websites owned by contracted agents or agencies to be registered with the company.
Please download and review the Agency Website Check List to see how to register your website, if you haven’t done so yet. Also, on the checklist, you will see guidelines for a compliant website. Please read carefully and make adjustments accordingly.
