Illinois Turning To Insurance Agents For Obamacare Outreach

[Duaine]

Get Covered Illinois, the state's enrollment arm, is spending about $150,000 this winter to help 13 insurance brokerages pay for co-branded marketing materials, said Jennifer Koehler, Get Covered Illinois' executive director. The site getcoveredillinois.gov lists about 150 insurance agents who have completed state training courses in Medicaid and data security.

Unlike navigators, insurance agents can ask people specific questions about their health and then recommend a specific plan or insurer. Insurers pay agents a commission on plans sold, usually a percentage of the premiums.

They are the Get Covered Illinois "Certified Brokers". Have to have a stand-alone office with banners on your windows, and a someone outside in a catchy (bullet & fire-proof) costume jumping up and down 24/7, holding a "GET COVERED NOW!" sign. Also must attend Medicaid training and other courses, seminars, etc.. Ghetto office is big plus.
