In September, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight will host several webinars for agents and brokers about registration and training for Federally Facilitated Marketplace plan year 2016.

The first webinar is scheduled for Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. ET and, according to the CMS, will cover topics such as the registration process and requirements, the vendor training option and changes in registration since plan year 2015.

The entire webinar schedule is available on the CMS website.

Agents and brokers may register for the webinar online. Registration closes 24 hours prior to the start of the webinar. If any Big “I” members have questions regarding logistics and registration, they can contact CMS directly.

Wyatt Stewart is Big “I” director of federal government affairs.
