Obtaining Consent to Contact from Individual and Group Clients 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Understanding Marketplace Compliance Rules & Regulations presentation laid out additional requirements for life and health insurance brokers to obtain consent to contact prior to providing assistance with Marketplace plans.

To stay compliant with these new regulations, brokers must obtain consent from individuals, employers, and employees and retain their consent in their records for a minimum of 10 years. 

Utilize these consent to contact resources to efficiently obtain consent and ensure your agency maintains compliance. Included in these resources are:

How can I obtain consent?

Brokers can obtain consent verbally (on a recorded line), electronically (via email), or in person. It's best practice to capture their consent in verbal or written records that you can then store in your industry-specific agency management system.
