2017 Individual Overview
Good morning. Independence Blue Cross has again amended the announcement regarding individual commission. Please see important information below.
Independence has been informed that, after review of our 2017 commission schedule, offering new business commissions for only two off-exchange products is not in compliance with the current CMS regulations.
The CMS interpretation references the requirements in Federal Regulation 45 CFR 156.200 (f) which states, in part, "A QHP issuer must pay the same broker compensation for QHPs offered through a Federally-facilitated Exchange that the QHP issuer pays for similar health plans offered in the state outside the federally-facilitated Exchange."
In order to ensure our compliance with all Federal and State regulations, we are required to adjust our commissions schedule for the 2017 plan year. Due to this adjustment we are no longer able to offer new business commissions for the two off exchange-only plans, HMO Silver Proactive Value and HMO Bronze, as was previously communicated.
This modification does not change the commission schedule for renewal of existing business on all of our consumer product lines. Updated 2017 Commissions Schedules are available below:
