Consent Forms Need To Go Away.....

OK, anytime you assist your insured with a plan change, you need a new consent form for HS. Healthcare.gov does NOT require a new consent form

No, healthcare.gov requires it. HS only follows their rules. And it's not just for plan change. If you go on their application and change their income by $1, you are required to do a consent form. If you update a birthday or add a SSN for a new baby, consent form.

Literal insanity. Talk about throwing a roadblock up for agents to properly do their jobs. Thank God CMS is getting completely cleaned out soon. To the morons that are currently in there....no agent is benefitting by updating a client's info. There is no fraud there at all, bozos.

That's not true at all. Besides the AOR fraud that happens in OE, there is an SEP available all year to people under the 150% FPL. Call centers could change someone's income to that level, change their plan to a $0/mth plan and they won't notice. MP also stopped asking for proof of loss of coverage so they could go in and click that box as well for a mid year plan shift.

It was harder last year because a few carriers did AOR lock but not all did

Hello. Read the rules. You only need new consent form if original one had an expiration date or was revoked.

Each time you update app, you DO need new an eligibility verification from the customer

I printed this off their website-
"CMS does not specify an automatic expiration date of the consent because it could become burdensome for anyone consistently seeking services from the same agent/broker to have to repeatedly renew the consent. Therefore, the consent may last indefinitely, unless the individual revokes it. Consent documents must be appropriately secured and retained for 10 years."
