Plan year 2017 Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM) agent and broker registration and training is now available on the CMS Enterprise Portal.
Training is offered by CMS on the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS), and through two CMS-approved vendors:
CMS-approved vendors are required to cover, at a minimum, the same topic areas as are covered in the CMS training, and may be able to offer you continuing education unit (CEU) credits, depending on the state in which you are licensed. Vendors may charge a fee for taking their training. As in previous years, the MLMS training is free. Agents and brokers must access both the MLMS and CMS-approved vendor training via the CMS Enterprise Portal.
If you successfully completed FFM registration for plan year 2016, you are eligible to take a streamlined Refresher Training for the Individual Marketplace (estimated two hours for completion) via the MLMS or a CMS-approved vendor.
For a detailed description of how to complete the registration steps, please participate in one of three remaining sessions of the “Plan Year 2017 FFM Registration and Training” webinars:
- August 3 from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Eastern Time (ET) for returning agents and brokers
