Helping consumers enroll in Marketplace coverage can be tricky — even for an expert like you. Don’t you wish there was a manual that walked through everything you need to know? Great news — there is!  

Check out the latest Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) and Federally-facilitated Small Business Health Options Program (FF-SHOP) Enrollment Manual, now posted on the Agents and Brokers Resources webpage.

  • Direct enrollment
  • Special enrollment periods
  • Premiums
  • Terminations
  • Retroactivity
  • Reinstatements
