SEP's - Which WBE's Will Process?

[mwoodbrid]

I'm confused we talk about SEP but I was told there are no SEP allowed during open enrollment?
A person could have a lapse of coverage

SEPs are definitely available and functioning during OE on hc.gov (so also through the double-redirect WBEs), just as they were last year.

Is anyone using a WBE to process SEP's right now?

I haven't done ANY SEP's for 1/1/16 yet.
But, I bet we'll get those calls.

I avoid going to the hc.gov site like the plague.
Calling-in to them is even worse.
SUCH a waste of time!

HealthSherpa can handle SEP applications no problem.

Question leading you to SEP enrollment is on the second page of the application.

Welltheos, which is free, processes SEP's routinely, did one in 10 minutes today from start to finish (including the Marketplace app update).

This is not true.

SEPs are allowed during OEP.

One of the main reasons a consumer might want do an SEP right now is that it would allow for an effective date for the first day of the following month. In other words, a 1/1 effective date is still possible with an SEP, while OEP enrollments are now defaulting to a 2/1 effective date.

I do not recall having said that and if someone else here did via another means I would appreciate if would forward that communication to me at [email protected]

We are working on the code to re-implement SEP, stay tuned...
