Why A is correct
Agents and brokers who sell Qualified Health Plans in California must complete Covered California's certification process, which includes training on the exchange's products, rules, and consumer protections, and must execute the applicable agreement with Covered California. The certification ensures that producers understand subsidy calculations, plan comparisons, and enrollment procedures before advising consumers. No federal CMS license or securities registration is required for exchange QHP sales, and county registration has no role in licensing health insurance producers. This producer requirement is a California-specific point in the PPACA exchange section of the A&H outline.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) QHP certification is administered by Covered California, not by federal CMS licensing.
- C) The Series 7 is a securities qualification and is irrelevant to selling QHPs.
- D) County registration is not a prerequisite; state licensing plus Covered California certification applies.
