CDO Program applications due December 15
CMS is accepting applications through December 15 for the Certified Application Counselor Designated Organization (CDO) Program for Plan Year 2024.
Organizations that operate in federally facilitated Marketplace (FFM) states and want to provide certified application counselor (CAC) enrollment assistance to consumers must apply to become CDOs and enter into an agreement with CMS.
CDOs are an important part of the assister community. In the FFMs, CDOs oversee CACs who are trained annually and can help consumers seeking health care coverage options through the Marketplace.
An interested organization that meets the eligibility criteria should complete the CDO application online and allow 10 business days for CMS’s review of their application.
If the application is approved, the organization will be asked to access the CDO organizational maintenance web form and submit a signed CMS-CDO agreement. Review of the agreement may take up to five business days.
If the CMS-CDO agreement is approved, the organization will receive a welcome packet email with a unique CDO identification number.
