Changes to Telehealth Coming?

House health subcommittee chair Rep. Anna Eshoo said Tuesday it's time to make telehealth flexibilities enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic permanent to help close gaps in care.

Only certain areas will continue to get telehealth services after the public health emergency ends. Learn more about the proposed changes.

Stay Compliant to Get Paid for All your Enrollments!

We want to make sure you get paid for your hard work. Here are some reminders & tips to help:

• Certify for all products available. You may

not normally sell them, but you never know

when someone might need it!

• Renew your license at least 2 months in

advance. Pay attention to states changing

when renewals are due.

• Verify you are licensed AND appointed in

the state you wish to sell, BEFORE the

appointment.

Making a non-compliant sale can not only cost you your appointment with the carrier, but also your renewals! Check back each week for more tips. Questions? Contact Melissa at (800) 783-5642 x1116
