Federal regulators have blocked two private sector enrollment websites from accessing consumer information through the federal Obamacare marketplace due to “anomalous activity.” This step is part of an effort by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to curb unauthorized enrollment and switching of Affordable Care Act plans by rogue agents. The two websites, Benefitalign and Inshura, have been suspended while the activity is investigated. This move comes as lawmakers call for increased penalties for rogue agents, with concerns about unauthorized enrollment schemes harming consumers. The Biden administration is facing challenges in preventing these schemes while maintaining ease of enrollment for legitimate consumers and agents.
