1 Effective July 28, 2014, an individual or entity has a disqualifying conflict of interest and cannot become or continue to serve as a CAC or CAC designated organization, if the individual or entity receives any consideration directly or indirectly from a health insurance or stop loss insurance issuer in connection with the enrollment of any individuals in a QHP or non-QHP. In a Federally-facilitated Marketplace, however, no health care provider shall be ineligible to operate as a CAC or CAC designated organization solely because it receives consideration from a health insurance issuer for health care services provided. 45 CFR 155.225(g)(2).
