The Obama administration has come up with a new batch of rules for navigators, the people tasked with helping consumers and employers make sense of the exchanges under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
In the new final rule released Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services, the agency finalized rules for the navigators, as well as set rules for agents, brokers, certified application counselors, in-person assistance personnel and non-navigator assistance personnel.
The rule, which is set to appear in the Federal Register on July 17, is based on drafts released in January and April.
