Federally-Facilitated Marketplace
Selling Requirements
The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released Federally-Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) registration updates for 2016.
 
Registration for 2016 is now available through the CMS Enterprises portal.
 
Agents and brokers who wish to participate in the FFM must complete the requirements on the CMS Enterprise Portal, including:
  • Creating an agent/broker profile on the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS) (new producers only).
  • Enrolling in the desired Marketplace training.
  • Completing assigned training course and passing exams, with a minimum score of 70 percent.
  • Reading and accepting the applicable Marketplace Agreements on the MLMS.
UPMC Health Plan will require the following information from producers who wish to sell UPMC Health Plan's FFM products:
  • Your FFM user ID, which you received as part of the CMS registration process.
  • Your National Producer Number (NPN) from the National Insurance Producer Registry. If you do not know your NPN number, you may access it by clicking here.

The above information  must be emailed to producerrelations@upmc.edu or faxed to 1-877-892-0234.

Producers should submit their complete 2016 FFM information to UPMC Health Plan by October 30, 2015.  CMS does not permit UPMC Health Plan to pay Marketplace enrollment commissions to any producer who has not completed all FFM registration and training requirements.  Producers who fail to submit their complete FFM information to UPMC Health Plan prior to October 30, 2015 may have any associated commissions delayed or reversed/recovered by UPMC Health Plan unless and until their FFM registration and training can be verified. 
 
If you have any questions, please contact Sales Support or your sales representative.
