Live Today: Plan Year 2026 Marketplace Registration and Training
Registration & Training - LIVE NOW - New Agents & Brokers

 

Plan Year 2026 Marketplace registration and training is now available for new agents and brokers and those returning who didn’t complete Marketplace training for Plan Year 2025! The Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) agreement and optional SHOP training are also available.

 

If you are a new agent or broker who does not already have a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Enterprise Portal account, follow these steps to create your CMS Enterprise Portal account and your agent/broker profile on the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS):

  1. Create a CMS Enterprise Portal account
  2. Request the Agent Broker Training Access role
  3. Complete remote identity proofing through the Identity Management (IDM) system
  4. Complete your agent/broker profile on the MLMS via the CMS Enterprise Portal

All agents and brokers should follow these steps to complete Plan Year 2026 registration and training after they have completed the above steps:

  1. Log in to the CMS Enterprise Portal
  2. Update your information on your MLMS agent/broker profile
  3. Complete the annual Marketplace training
  4. Read and accept the applicable Marketplace Agreement(s)
  5. Print your 2026 Registration Completion Certificate
  6. Confirm your registration by using the Registration Completion List

 

Throughout the registration process, you can use the Marketplace Registration Tracker to track your progress.

 

You have two options for completing your training:

 

  • Through the MLMS offered by CMS
  • Through the CMS-approved vendors, HealthSherpa and INSXCloud If you choose either of these options, you must return to the MLMS to complete your registration 

 

Reminder: Later this year, Marketplace training will be available in Spanish on the MLMS.

 

Get Started with Registration and Training

You can also take the Help On Demand training one business day after you complete your Marketplace registration, training, and agreements. Simply log back into the MLMS to complete this additional course to participate in Help On Demand! Help On Demand is a consumer assistance referral system that quickly connects consumers seeking assistance with Marketplace-registered, state-licensed agents and brokers in their area who can provide assistance with Marketplace plans and enrollments.
