LYNN, an agent for ACME ins. Inc., thinks that, since state laws are preempted with regard to the marketing of Medicare health plans, he doesn’t have much to worry about. What might you, as his colleague, advise him concerning the type of scrutiny he will be under?
Organizations sponsoring Medicare health plans are responsible for the behavior of their contracted representatives and will be conducting monitoring activities to ensure compliance with all applicable Federal laws and guidance and plan policies. Furthermore, state agent licensure laws are NOT preempted and he must abide by their requirements.
