Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace (Exchange) Platform - Complete by September 7, 2023
For the creation of your agent account in Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace (Exchange) platform, it is critical that each agent complete and submit the Required Agent Information Form (office.com) no later than 9/7/2023. Updated contact information is a prerequisite to creating your account and for the automated process that will build your book of business on the Exchange.
Each agent must have a unique email address (which will serve as your username on the platform) and a unique text-enabled mobile phone number (for authentication purposes) in order to create an account. The HBE will compile the updated data for agents that have responded by the deadline and provide it to GetInsured for an automated data load that will create accounts and generate notices. This updated data will also be used to link agents to consumers once the consumer data migration from the FFM is complete in late September (thus creating your books of business).
If you do not complete the form by 5pm on 9/7/2023, you will have to manually build your own book of business once we have manually created your account. We will provide you instructions on how to do this manual build in the coming weeks.
If you need help completing the form, please reach out to ExchangeAgents@scc.virginia.gov and our staff will assist you. Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this essential activity.
