How It WORKS!! 1.  Enrollment Firm / Broker work with AB Sales Associate to determine what products and

plan designs are needed for the account (6 weeks before enrollment begins)

2.  Employer agrees to these plan designs by signing the Employer Acceptance agreement (4040 form) (6 weeks before enrollment begins)

3.  AB Enrollment solutions receives the 4040 with a request to submit an Implementation Package to the platform vendor (no rates or other data gets to the platform vendor any other way) (at least 5 weeks before enrollment begins)

4.  A review call to make sure that there is clarity around the Implementation Package BEFORE case configuration takes place – TSCs will be validating “working conditions” (4 weeks before enrollment begins)

5.  The Implementation Package contains file feed formats that would be discussed, understood and agreed upon (covered in #4)

Proprietary and Confidential

How It WORKS!! 6.  A Quality Assurance testing date for the system is agreed upon PRIOR to use of the

system for enrollment (1 – 2 weeks before enrollment begins)

7.  AB reviews the case configuration (QA) and insures that all rates and state regulations for the products are followed … signs off on the case (covered in #6)

8.  Enrollment begins

9.  During enrollment phase we receive test files based on the formats provided in step 5. We test those files for format and data type accuracy

10.  Post enrollment – AB receives the data files within 5 – 7 business days to process E-certificates

Common Failure Points in the Process 1.  No 4040 – the 4040 changes and we don’t know it

2.  Billing call and frequency to gain clarity

3.  Agent licensing and appointing process

4.  No system review – leads to business that takes months to get processed

5.  Agent# / splits prior to processing data
