Blendable Direct is Blendable’s new direct pay software for self-insured Group Benefits. Once you’re registered you can submit expenses directly to Blendable on behalf of clients, so they only pay copays or other ineligible amounts to you out of pocket.
We’re different from the big insurance companies and we’re on a mission to uncomplicate Group Benefits. That’s why we’ve built Blendable Direct from the ground up. We’ve done our best to make this process fast and easy, and we’d love your feedback to make it even better for healthcare providers like you!
Why use Blendable Direct
Your clients are asking for it!
We know that paying for healthcare out of pocket can be a nuisance. People are more likely to visit providers where they can set up direct payment through their Group Benefits provider. By offering Blendable Direct you open your doors to more clients.
It's free to use!
We don't charge any fees to healthcare providers, Plan Members, or Plan Sponsors for using the Blendable Direct system. It's just our way of making sure that Group Benefits are simple and high-value.

How to use Blendable Direct
Submitting an Expense
- Visit your Provider Centre – provider.blendable.ca
- Login using the email and password we provided you during signup
- Click “New Expense”
- Enter the Member Code given by your client. They can look it up by logging into their Member Centre if they don’t have it handy.
- Confirm the Plan Member’s name and birthday matches the record.
- Add Expense information including:
- The date the service was performed, or product purchased
- Select who the expense was for (the Member, or one of their dependants)
- The Dental Code or DIN
- The total amount of the expense
- Check that the service is eligible based on the Plan Member’s coverage
- If the Plan Member doesn’t belong to a Plan with Blendable Direct, the only coverage will be “Ineligible.” They’ll need to pay you out of pocket and submit a claim through their Blendable Member Centre.
- Click “Add”
- When you’re done adding expenses, the box on the right will show you:
- The total
- How much Blendable will pay you
- How much you need to collect from the Plan Member
- If you’re unsure of the coverage and why the Plan Member will be paying a portion, click “View Coverage” to check what’s eligible.
- Confirm you’re collecting the Plan Member-paid portion
- Click “Submit”
When expenses are paid
You will be paid in bulk for all expenses submitted on a given day.
Depending on time of submission and timing of bank transfers, payment should arrive in your business bank account (the one Blendable was given pre-authorized payment information for at your signup) within a few business days.
