2020 FFM Recertification Reminder

Date: 10/04/19

Remember you must recertify with the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM) to sell Ambetter plans during the 2020 Open Enrollment period and avoid any disruption in commission payments on currently active policies. If commissions are paid to an Agency or Principle, that Agency or Principle must recertify as well.

Your NPN must appear on CMS’s 2020 certification spreadsheet.
We cannot accept a copy of your FFM certification that you receive upon completion. You must appear on the CMS 2020 certification completion spreadsheet. If you have completed the certification and do not appear on the CMS spreadsheet, please contact CMS directly.

Check if your 2020 recertification is complete at:

If you have questions about the FFM registration process, contact CMS at FFMProducer-AssisterHelpDesk@cms.hhs.gov.
