Federal regulators have blocked two private sector enrollment websites, Benefitalign and Inshura, from accessing consumer information through the federal Obamacare marketplace due to “anomalous activity.” This move is part of an effort to curb unauthorized enrollment and switching of Affordable Care Act plans by rogue agents. The agencies have received over 200,000 complaints in the first six months of the year regarding such actions. The enrollment sites were first allowed to integrate with healthcare.gov data during the Trump administration. Lawmakers are calling on CMS to increase penalties for agents enrolling people in plans without authorization, as complaints from victims of enrollment schemes continue to rise.
