Covered CA implements Web Browser Log-in Restrictions
CalHEERS 16.7, the newest version of the Covered CA online application, now restricts users to one account log-in per web browser. Health Insurance Brokers in California who are certified with Covered CA or enrollment counselors will not be able to open a new browser tab or window to log-in to their account and review a number of applications simultaneously. Covered CA states “we cannot support more than one log in session open at a time.”
Covered CA Agent Agreement Amendment
Certified Covered CA Agent agreements are valid for 5 years, but when changes are made to the contract, or when annual training needs to be attested, an amendment is required to be signed.
- Agents should look for the “Covered CA Agent Agreement – 2016” to be emailed between August 31 and September 16, 2016
- Certified Insurance Agents are required by state and federal law to offer assistance to Covered CA applicants with voter registration
- Voter registration training is required annually
- Agents must self-attest that training has been completed by signing the amended Agent Agreement
- Agents should also review their contact and payment information
- In order to maintain their Covered CA certification, agents must sign or respond to the amended Agent Agreement electronically by November 1, 2016
