22. Considerations for Assisters
22 Š 2014 Enroll America and Get Covered America
EnrollAmerica.org | GetCoveredAmerica.org 10-2-2014
Whatâs Staying the Same
⢠Providers, including health
centers, can serve as assisters
⢠Assisters must meet state
licensing, certification, and
registration policies
⢠Assisters are required to undergo
training and receive certification (&
recertification)
⢠Assisters are prohibited from
charging for providing assistance
⢠Assisters may conduct outreach
and education activities by going
door-to-door and through other
unsolicited means, including
calling a consumer
Whatâs Changing
⢠Organizations cannot pay
assisters on per-enrollee, per-application
basis (applies to FFM
states only)
⢠Automatic calling systems (e.g.
robocalls) are prohibited unless
there is a pre-existing relationship
with the consumer
⢠Written consent is required before
accessing personally identifiable
information (PII) or reaching out to
consumers about enrollment or
retention of coverage
