Marketplace batch auto re-enrollments (BAR) will go into effect after
December 15. The following returning Marketplace consumers will be auto
re-enrolled:
-
Individuals who received coverage in 2016
through participating issuers, but who have not selected 2017 coverage by
December 15. Re-enrollment in their issuer’s plan for 2017 may be different from
the previous year, depending on plan availability.
-
Individuals
currently enrolled in plans through issuers that will not be participating in
the Marketplace for 2017. Consumers will be matched with an alternate plan from
a different issuer.
These consumers can still choose another plan anytime during Open
Enrollment and are also eligible for a special enrollment period that will allow
them to get coverage that starts on January 1 if they enroll in a plan by
December 31.
To make sure your clients get the coverage that best meets their needs
and budgets, we encourage you to work with them to make an active plan
selection—and confirm your National Producer Number (NPN) is part of their 2017
enrollment. As part of the BAR transaction, the Marketplace will send issuers the
NPNs of licensed agents and brokers who were registered with the Marketplace
and listed on the application at the time of last year's enrollment.
Also, make sure your clients understand they must resolve any data
matching issues and make their first premium payment for their enrollment to go
into effect!
