Legal Disclosure:
The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in
any way, unless specifically incorporated into a contract. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the
public regarding existing requirements under the law. This model consent form will not supersede any State
Agent of Record, Broker of Record, or other form required by a QHP issuer for purposes of making commission
payments to the proper agent or broker for assisting a particular consumer.
Purpose Statement:
Registered agents and brokers assisting consumers apply for and enroll in Marketplace coverage must document
consumer consent prior to accessing or updating their Marketplace information. CMS does not prescribe the
manner in which agents and brokers must document consent. Instead, there are different formats that may be
acceptable for agents and brokers to use to document consumer consent, such as via a recorded phone call, text
message, email, electronic document with digital signatures, physical document with wet signatures, etc. This
model consent form serves as an example for how agents and brokers may document consent via a physical
document with wet signatures.
Since this model consent form is a best practice for obtaining consumer consent, you may tailor the form to
address the needs of your specific business model in addition to meeting the CMS requirement to document
consent from a consumer prior to assisting the consumer enroll in coverage in the Marketplace, including prior
to conducting a person search. For example, if an Agency is involved, you may clarify specifically who else within
the Agency other than the writing Agent is able to view and use the consumer’s PII to assist the writing Agent in
enrolling the consumer in Marketplace coverage for compliance, commissions, or other relevant purposes as
you see fit.
