Atlantic Information Services, Softheon to Present Complimentary Webinar on How Web-Broker Entities Can Drive Future Exchange Enrollment
Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 16, 2015 -- Two years after the launch of public health insurance exchanges, enrollment has begun to level off. Industry observers contend that additional enrollment growth cannot be achieved unless carriers, insurance brokers and benefits consultants are able to enroll consumers directly. “Web-Broker Entities: How WBEs Can Drive Future Exchange Enrollment,” a complimentary July 28 webinar sponsored by Softheon, Inc. and Atlantic Information Services, Inc. (AIS), will provide details of how health plans and web-broker entities (WBEs) can work together to increase enrollment and retention.
Health plans have been relying heavily on brokers and agents to drive enrollment, but in coming years, WBEs — agents, brokers or other entities with a website approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) — are expected to play a meaningful part in enrolling plan members. More than 50 WBEs are now registered to enroll individuals, employers and their workers in health insurance through HealthCare.gov, according to CMS records.
During the July 28 webinar, Dan Schuyler, senior director of exchange technology at Leavitt Partners, and Eugene Sayan, the founder, chairman and CEO of Softheon, will answer these and other questions:
- How can WBEs overcome the challenges they face in enrolling individuals and small groups onto the exchanges?
- How will the recently approved year-round access to HealthCare.gov’s Direct Enrollment (DE) function make it easier to enroll new members?
- How are brokers and WBEs helping applicants make it through the so-called “double redirect” process?
- What’s the latest on CMS’s EVaaS interface that would seamlessly link carriers and WBEs to HealthCare.gov?
- How can health plans and marketplaces work with WBEs to improve member retention?
A concluding Q&A session will offer participants the chance to pose questions to the speakers.
