Who knew the feds didn't like insurance companies selling off exchange? It's probably why you didn't hear that 13 million actually signed up vs 8 million often quoted. Is this a take over of distribution ??
On the Third Hand: Off-exchange | LifeHealthPro
Off-exchange distribution of PPACA-compliant major medical coverage is as much a part of PPACA as exchange sales of PPACA plans.
But even the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO) -- the federal agency in charge of implementing PPACA's commercial health insurance provisions for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) -- seems to be caught up in the idea that the exchange market is the real PPACA market.
On the one hand, it seemed as if CCIIO officials conveyed their disdain for the off-exchange PPACA plan market in a new batch of guidance. The good news (from an insurer's perspective) was that CCIIO didn't try to heap new regulations on what insurers selling coverage through the public exchanges off-exchange.
On the other hand, the bad news (from the perspective of someone fond of the traditional distribution system) was that CCIIO didn't seem to find the idea of insurers selling major medical coverage off-exchange very appealing.
