Part
I of the Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) training and training
curriculum completion certificates are no longer available on the Medicare
Learning Network® (MLN) Learning Management System (LMS) for plan year
2015. CCIIO is preparing to launch the training for plan year 2016 on a
new Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS) later this summer. The option
to take training on an approved vendor's website will also become available at
a later date.
Part
II of the agent and broker registration process for plan year 2015 must be
completed by July 1, 2015. To do this agents and brokers should visit the
CMS Enterprise Portal at https://portal.cms.gov
to:
·
Create an FFM user account; and
·
Complete identity proofing to add the "FFM agent broker" role
to your account.
In
preparation for the transition to the new MLMS, CMS will be hosting a webinar
in July titled, "Plan Year 2016 Registration and Training for Agents and
Brokers." The purpose of this webinar will be to provide plan year
2016 requirements agents and brokers will need to complete in order to become
registered to assist consumers through the FFM either through thenew web
platform MLMS or through a CMS-approved vendor.
Additional
information on the transition for agents and brokers from plan year 2015 to
plan year 2016 will be provided on a continual flow basis on the Agents and
Brokers Resources webpage, so please continue to check there for
updates. We will also provide updates via email blasts, the monthly
Agent and Broker newsletter, as well as through Twitter @CMSGov.
For more information about
registration and the role of agents and brokers in the FFM, please visit our
