Mountain View, Calif.-based eHealth announced earlier this week that it reached an agreement with the federal government that will allow the broker to help enroll tax-subsidy-eligible residents in the exchanges under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The agreement allows eHealth to access a federal data hub that contains information needed to determine tax subsidy eligibility and subsidy amounts.
CMS has signed a similar agreement with Palo Alto, Calif.-based Getinsured.com, according to a MarketWatch report. HealthCompare — a division of The World & Brown Companies in Orange, Calif. — has also entered into an agreement with the federal government to assist with enrolling people in the exchanges, according to a Reuters report.
