To avoid disruption of commissions and ensure compliance with regulations, starting November 1, 2023, new applications must list the encrypted tax identification number (TIN) of the agent, not the agency, for the writing agent and that agent must have an active license and any state-required appointment.
Entering the writing agent name and encrypted TIN on the required documents ensures commissions will be paid accurately and timely. Whether you are quoting, enrolling, or submitting an Agent of Record change, including that key information will help Anthem make sure that the information in Anthem's system is correct and keep Anthem compliant with state regulations.
Starting November 1, 2023, agent license and any state-required appointment will be validated at the time of commission payment and apply to both the writing agent and the payee tax ID. If the writing agent does not have an active license and any state-required appointment at the time of commission, they will not be eligible for commission payment, nor will their agency, in real time or retroactively.
Your Amwins Connect team is here to help ensure your commission payments are not missed. Your team will verify Agent license and appointment status and include the correct Agent identifiers on your submissions.
