It seems to me the Brokers are being kept from enrolling not only in the exchange but off exchange products as well. Some carrier sites with a color ,the applicants must call into the 800# and speak directly to a carrier employee/sales person. We (brokers) can't get a quote on several carrier sites for 2014 business. But they are selling direct. I think we are being kept out of the loop intentionally while the carriers pick the "low hanging fruit" . Some are still dragging their feet not releasing commission rates for 2014, butJust saw IBC offering 3.75% first year 1.75 renewal ! The agent portals do not interface with the FFM data hub among many other issues. CAN'T JUST BLAME IT ON THE GOV'T. CARRIERS ARE GIVING US THE SHAFT BIGTIME. Of course nobody at the carriers "know anything" playing dumb and blaming everything on the Fed Gov't is getting old. The major players have used every tactic in the book to keep us out of the loop. Color me as having one foot out and concentrating on MAPD 10-15-2013 while just trying to maintain my Individual book until 12-2014. I want to help people but sorry ladies and gentleman brokers I think we have been HAD ! Correction those IBC "commissions" are 3.4% for G
old & Platnum and 1.7% for silver and Bronze !
