The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented new policies aimed at preventing unauthorized changes to Marketplace plans, effective immediately.

CHARLOTTE, NC – In preparation for the upcoming Enrollment Periods, Messer Financial is already rolling out updates to MyMFG, the industry’s first program that runs side-by-side comparisons for Medicare Advantage and Affordable Care Act plans.

MyMFG is considered a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that allows agents to conduct business services anytime, anywhere. Program features include tools for lead management, agent management, and virtual enrollments with call recording.

“With MyMfg, we have removed hours of time spent on admin work so that you can focus on what you do best – helping others.” Vice President of Marketing Micah Mathews said. “Our system will audit your commissions, alert you if someone has taken your client within 25 seconds of it happening, and give complete transparency on the status of each application in real-time. It is an integral piece for any growing business.”

The eAgentCenter is currently down. The issue has been reported and is being worked on, so don't panic!

The US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) finalized a rule through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that will expand healthcare access for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients under the Biden-Harris Administration. The rule will go into effect on November 1, 2024.
