Enrollee assistance data fields:
CMS is also adding two (2) new data fields to capture information about individuals who help applicants fill out the form. Individuals (for example, State Health Insurance Assistance Program counselors, agents, and brokers) must indicate if they helped the applicant fill out the form and must disclose their relationship to the applicant. Agents and brokers will also be expected to provide their assigned National Producer Number (NPN) if they assisted the applicant with completing the enrollment form. Previous versions of the model enrollment form requested information about individuals providing assistance to applicants completing the form, and this is a long-standing requirement codified in §§ 422.60(c) and 423.32(b). However, previous versions of the form did not request information about an individual’s relationship to the applicant and the agent or broker’s NPN.
