Entities Approved to Use Enhanced Direct Enrollment

Enhanced direct enrollment (EDE) is a new pathway for consumers to enroll in health insurance coverage through the Federally-facilitated Exchange. This pathway allows CMS to partner with the private sector to provide a more user-friendly and seamless enrollment experience for consumers by allowing them to apply for and enroll in an Exchange plan directly through an approved issuer or web-broker without the need to be redirected to HealthCare.gov or contact the Exchange Call Center.

For additional information on EDE, please view the fact sheet, available at: /newsroom/fact-sheets/enhanced-direct-enrollment-pathway-health-insurance-exchange-coverage
