eHealth, Inc.
EHTH, the nation's leading private online health insurance
exchange for individual and family health insurance, today announced
that it has entered into an agreement with the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) that relates to its ability to enroll
individuals into qualified health plans (QHPs) through the
Federally-Facilitated Health Insurance Exchange ("FFE").
In July, eHealth signed an agreement with CMS that would allow it to
access certain information from the federal data hub. This access is
necessary for eHealth to act as a web-broker entity (WBE) and use its
website to enroll individuals eligible for Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act subsidies in QHPs through the FFE.
The new agreement signed by eHealth must be signed by any agent or
broker that wishes to enroll individuals in QHPs through the FFE.
Under the agreement, eHealth pledges to meet registration, training
and licensing requirements established by the FFE. The agreement also
requires eHealth to comply with privacy and security standards and
applicable laws and regulations. eHealth will also need to integrate
with the FFE and implement a QHP shopping experience on its internet
platform before it can enroll people in QHPs as a WBE.
