Plan Year 2023 Registration and Training
Plan Year 2023 Marketplace Registration and Training is Live for New and Returning Agents and Brokers
Plan year 2023 Marketplace registration and training is now available for new and returning agents and brokers on the Marketplace Learning Management System (MLMS).
Annual Marketplace Registration and Training Requirements
New Agents and Brokers
Agents and brokers who are new to the Marketplace this year, or who did not complete plan year 2022 registration and training, are required to take the full Individual Marketplace training for plan year 2023. New agents and brokers can take Individual Marketplace training through the MLMS or the HHS-approved vendor.
Returning Agents and Brokers
Agents and brokers who completed plan year 2022 Individual Marketplace registration and training are eligible to take shorter training for plan year 2023 as well as optional review modules. Returning agents and brokers will be automatically enrolled in the Marketplace Training for Returning Agents and Brokers, a shorter training that can be completed in approximately 60 minutes. Training for returning agents and brokers includes refresher courses, and exam, and signing the Agent Broker General Agreement. Returning agents and brokers can take training through the MLMS or the HHS-approved vendor.
