Selling On-Exchange Plans (Marketplace Plans)

If you are selling through the Marketplace, you will need to have your Marketplace Broker Accounts set up. This is where you will be quoting and submitting Marketplace applications as well as making policy changes.

Marketplace plans function differently than private plans. All changes must be made through the Marketplace, which will then send a report to the respective carriers in order for them to reflect the changes in their system.
