Update: Online Enrollment Required for New Small Group Business (1-50) with January 2017 Effective Dates

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) Small Group Enrollment Tool, a feature accessed within eSales Tools, is required to enroll new small group (1-50) business, starting with January 2017 effective dates.

Already used by most producers for its ease of use, the online tool:

• Simplifies the enrollment process from start to finish with guided workflow
• Speeds up case approval, improving accuracy with prompts for complete information
• Accepts Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) for binder premium payment to deliver member ID cards faster

The upcoming October release will include additional enhancements. See the user guide, job aid and demo video to learn more.
