F.27 Agent Broker Compensation Report Data File
For Plan enrollments, MARx establishes a status of initial or renewal as well as a six-year
compensation cycle, which provides Plans with the information necessary to determine how to
pay agents for specific Beneficiary enrollments. Plans can pay agents an initial amount or a
renewal amount as provided in the CMS agent compensation guidance.
Based on the qualification rules, year 1 is the initial year and years 2 through 6 are the renewal
years. Plans are responsible for using this information in conjunction with their internal payment
and enrollment tracking systems to determine an agent’s use and how much to pay the agent.
The Agent Broker Compensation Report Data File is generated and sent to Plans along with the
first DTRR of each calendar month.
