HealthSherpa , which has its own sales team, announced the new initiative — called “ Member Defense Network ” — July 16 .
It will cut off commissions for unscrupulous insurance brokers believed to be signing up thousands of Americans for health plans they don’t need.
Federal regulators say at least 90,000 Obamacare customers have complained about unauthorized enrollments or plan switches in the first quarter of the year .
HealthSherpa ’s Member Defense Network is a step in the right direction, but not the answer, a broker says.
Not all unauthorized enrollments and plan switches are necessarily fraud, Kalogeropoulos says.
Some may be the result of confusion among agents as to whether they represent certain clients, he says.
