America’s Health Insurance Announces In-Person Assistance in Enrolling Consumers through the Federally-Facilitated Marketplace
Fort Wayne, IN (PRWEB) August 29, 2013 -- Headlines such as Forbes, Who are Obamacare Navigators and Will They Steal Your Identity?, are filtering through the news-waves this week. NPR reported that Florida was balking at using navigators because of the lack of control over navigators stealing data and personal information from the consumers they are counseling. In an article written on August 26th, the West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey addresses the concern that the navigator program may expose the nation's citizens to identity thieves. He was quoted stating that “Obamacare is a bonanza for thieves.” GOP Rep. Diane Black of Tennessee wrote a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius indicating her concern over the reduction in training for navigators from thirty hours to twenty hours. The notion of under-qualified, lightly trained navigators is raising concerns of the security of consumer information and quality of service to consumers.
On the contrary, a recent study by the University of Minnesota found that when agents or brokers are involved in shopping for health insurance coverage, it is more likely that firms and individuals will purchase coverage at a lower price because of the increasing agent/broker competition. Agents and brokers are required by state laws to be trained, licensed, and are highly responsible for the security of personal information, such as social security numbers, health records, etc, through privacy acts.

America’s Health Insurance is partnering with Anthem to set up booths in stores like Kroger, Wal-Mart, and Sam’s Club to help consumers evaluate their options and purchase coverage in the exchange from an educated and experienced licensed agent.
