CE Live Announces NYHBE Certification Course Webinars For Insurance Professionals

CE Live announced today that its popular online NY Health Exchange Certification Courses for insurance agents and brokers will resume May 21

Online PR News – 30-May-2014 – CE Live announced today that its popular online NY Health Exchange Certification Courses for insurance agents and brokers will resume May 21. The webinar-based coursework is designed to allow busy insurance professionals to conveniently meet their exchange certification coursework requirements from home or office.

NEW YORK, May 19, 2014 In preparation for the next Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period scheduled to officially begin Nov. 14 2014, CE Live President Jeff Belinson has announced the return of the companys convenient online webinar courses for insurance brokers and agents, beginning Wednesday May 21.

CE Live provides the official NYHBE certification courses for both the Individual Market Exchange and the Small business Health Options Program (SHOP) Exchange. The companys insurance certification coursework is designed to streamline continuing education and certification process for busy insurance professionals.

One of only a handful of insurance industry continuing education providers to offer the official NYHBE certification courses online, CE Live draws on the company teams own experiences as insurance agents and brokers to provide creative alternatives for staying on top of industry certification requirements conveniently, and without the time demands and distractions of traditional classroom settings. CE Lives coursework is taught by a team of seasoned, licensed insurance professionals from across the country to bring agents and brokers the best possible opportunity available anywhere to achieve NY certification.

Demand for CE Lives NYHBE webinars skyrocketed in the fall of 2013 when Belinson first introduced industry insiders to his webinar concept. At the time, Belinson said he knew the ACA enrollment program was causing confusion and stress among both insurance professionals and the general public, as clear-cut instructions were anything but, and delays caused some people to question the likelihood of a 2013 enrollment launch even happening.

Belinson says he avoided getting caught up in the Obamacare hysteria by focusing on making sure he and his team were on top of every detail and curve ball Washington would throw at the bill, and making CE Lives webinar courses comprehensive, convenient and affordable for his agent and broker clients.

Operating in New York State, Belinson says he knew they were in for big crowds lining up to enroll.

We expected enrollment to exceed one million people in New York alone during the first enrollment period, and we werent disappointed, Belinson says. By February New York State had been averaging around 4, 200 enrollees per day since launching in October; by the March 31 deadline that figure was more than 1.3 million New York State residents on board with the ACA plan.

Now that we know what to expect for the 2014-2015 enrollment period, we want to encourage brokers and agents to get their certifications under their belts in order to operate in one or both markets this year.

Agents and brokers must complete the NYHBE SHOP Certification coursework first and then complete the Individual Market Certification coursework in order to meet the certification requirements for selling on the NYHBE, according to Beilinson.

Producers who hold a New York State life, health, property or casualty class of insurance license and are looking to sell, solicit or negotiate health insurance through the NYHBE can get the necessary certification easily and affordably through CE Live without struggling to fit classroom time and the commute to and from into an already hectic schedule.

CE Lives one-of-a-kind webinar format also allows non-resident New York State insurance licensees to become SHOP and Individual Market certified from any location, a service that distinguishes CE Live from all other insurance continuing education providers.

Our classes fill up fast, and Web seating is limited for quality assurance, so its important to sign up as early as possible, Belinson says.

CE Lives certification webinars are designed in accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 and the New York Health Benefit Exchange, established by NY Governor Cuomos Executive Order in April 2012. NYHBE provides a marketplace for uninsured individuals and owners of small businesses to comparison shop for health insurance. It will also help qualified participants receive federal tax credits and cost sharing subsidies.
