Remember: There is a new enrollment process for SHOP plans starting in 2018. Small businesses will enroll either with the help of an agent or broker or by contacting their insurance company. They won’t enroll through HealthCare.gov. 

 

Already registered to sell SHOP coverage? Make sure you are prepared to help small group clients complete the new SHOP Eligibility Determination Form and to answer any questions they may have about qualifying for SHOP coverage.
