Agents/Brokers: Updated Agent and Broker FFM Registration Completion List


The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted an updated Agent and Broker FFM Registration Completion List for Plan Year 2016 on the Agents and Brokers Resources webpage. If you completed FFM registration prior to December 2, 2015, confirm that your National Producer Number (NPN) is included. You can search NPNs by clicking the arrow in cell A1, or by using the “Ctrl + F” (or “Command + F”) keystroke. If you completed registration after December 2, 2015, please check back soon.

If you have not yet completed plan year 2016 FFM registration and training, there are multiple training options available to you via the CMS Enterprise Portal:

·         CMS-approved Vendor Training Option: New for plan year 2016, you may complete the required FFM agent and broker training through one of three CMS-approved vendors: America’s Health Insurance Plans, Inc., Gorman Health Group, and the National Association of Health Underwriters. Vendors may charge a fee for their training.

·         Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS) Training Option: CMS continues to offer plan year 2016 FFM agent and broker training through the MLMS at no cost.

o    Spanish-language Version of MLMS Training: A Spanish-language version of the CMS-developed plan year 2016 FFM training for agents and brokers is also available through the MLMS.
