Does each person/agent within a company need to be appointed with a carrier or can appointments continue with the company/agency?

Individual Marketplace – Since commissions will be paid by each health insurance company it would depend on the health insurance company’s policies and procedures. However, each agent must be certified with Covered California to transact business with Covered California.

Covered California for Small Business – Each agent must be certified with Covered California to be appointed by Covered California. Agents do not need to secure appointments with each of the carriers in Covered California for Small Business. Agents will be appointed under the Covered California for Small Business Master Agent Agreement and agents will then have sub-appointments with all participating Covered California for Small Business carriers.
