Program Area: Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP)
Question: When an employer group is searching for an Agent/Broker, will company appointment information be available to the consumer?
Answer: In the Federally-facilitated Small Business Health Options Program (FF-SHOP) Agent/Broker Portal, a producer will establish a profile which may include the following elements: name (first, last), agency name, email address, business location, National Producer Number (NPN), and languages supported. Appointment information will not be displayed because we have no way to validate issuer appointments at this time.
