2016 FFM TRAINING & REGISTRATION NOW AVAILABLE

Training & Agreements


Producers can now access CMS training for the 2016 plan year through the CMS Enterprise Portal, at https://portal.cms.gov. CMS is requiring this training to sell products on-exchange, and Highmark is requiring this training to sell ACA products on- or off-exchange.

On the CMS Enterprise Portal, you can access training through:

  • CMS, on the new Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS)
  • America's Health Insurance Marketplace (AHIP), a CMS-approved vendor
  • National Association of Health Underwriters (NAHU), a CMS-approved vendor
You must also complete the applicable agreements with CMS on the MLMS prior to selling FFM products.

Information on how to submit your training certification to Highmark, through Sales Sentinel, is forthcoming.
