HHS Announces Auto Enrollment for Current ACA Customers

BINGO !!.................."the agent info didn't transfer over to the new system" or any client who calls on their own could see the agent conveniently left off the application/re-detemination with HC.gov rep.

these are two big dangers to watch for

How do we address this problem?

Then chew on this one.......the canned letters at the end are classic. "This is what you will communicate to your.....................our clients".

Wow, I don't even know where to begin after reading those bulletins... ??

Thank you for posting, Yagents
 
Remember that HHS/Marketplace employee who posted here in the forum for a few weeks in Feb/March? He echoed what HHS training was telling him about agents. To summarize the gist of his posts: Agents RARELY deserve to be paid for plans purchased through the Exchange.

Also, other forum members have recently said that Marketplace employees are becoming outright HOSTILE towards Agents.

The trend we're seeing in recent regulations and conversations with Health Insurers is that HHS wants FULL CONTROL and exclusive autonomy with exchange purchases and purchasers.

All the evidence thus far indicates that agents/brokers are being squeezed out of the process. We'll see how "agent friendly" the 2015 CMS training will be in July. Although what's said in training really means nothing if HHS is out to get rid of us. We can be utilized on the front-end and kicked to the curb later, like they did with the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) program in 2012.

HHS/CMS employees read this forum. The harder we are on the agency, the harder they'll be on us.
