Amwins Connect is well positioned to help brokers address the complexities and implications of the ACA, as well as act on the opportunities it provides.
We bring an interdisciplinary approach that integrates our knowledge of benefits with the tax resources of Amwins’ national level enterprise to help brokers navigate through the new normal of employee benefits. As part of our effort to help brokers understand and navigate the sweeping changes, we have created this ACA Resource Center. We encourage you to check back regularly for updates regarding the ongoing changes in our industry, to view the regulations that are released and to learn about their impact on you and your clients.
Important VA Exchange Note
Virginia is transitioning its Exchange from healthcare.gov (FFM) to its own State-based Exchange platform – Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace – for Plan Year 2024.
All agents who plan to sell Virginia Marketplace insurance plans for plan year 2024 will need to be certified for Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace. The 2024 certification training through Virginia's Insurance Marketplace will allow agents to sell on the Virginia Health Benefit Exchange for Plan Year 2024 beginning November 1, 2023.
NOTE: Agents will not be able to sell Virginia Marketplace plans through the FFM beginning Nov. 1, 2023 for Plan Year 2024. The Virginia Insurance Marketplace training does not apply to 2023 coverage through healthcare.gov.
INTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS: 12 instructional videos / platform demonstrations are available in the LMS to walk through various functions of the platform: In the "search catalog" bar at the top right, search "videos" to locate them.
