My understanding is that you will only be able to sell outside the exchange in; Wyoming, Delaware, Rhode Island and American Samoa.

Here's some key wording from the PDF page 2 (Summary) section of a Congressional Research Report on ACA and Exchanges.
"While the fundamental purpose of the exchanges will be to facilitate the offer and purchase of health insurance, nothing in the law prohibits qualified individuals, qualified employers, and insurance carriers from participating in the health insurance market outside of exchanges."

I interpret this to mean what it says...that insurers can sell outside of the exchanges, just like consumers can purchase insurance outside of the exchanges. Perhaps it's not actually this simplistic and straight-forward??
