A broker or agent will need to request personal information from a beneficiary in order to enter Enrollment Central. The main responsibility of the broker/agent is to protect any and all personal information of the beneficiary. The minimum necessary should only be requested as far as the amount and type of information. There may be various situations that arise that will call for the Agency Principal to access an agent’s beneficiary’s PHI. The following are examples of situations that will allow the Agency Principal to access the Agent’s files:
- Agent’s employment is terminated, or they decide to leave the agency
- Agent is on vacation
- Agent does not have access to the internet and/or Enrollment Central
The information you enter into Enrollment Central will only be accessed by you, the agent, the Enrollment Central Project Manager, the Compliance Manager, and upper management at NCC. The client information you enter into the system will not be shared with other agents except your agency principal (if applicable). NCC will never solicit your book of business entered into Enrollment Central.

The age selected in health information is auto-populated via the profile page. If the age range is incorrect, select the age range that best corresponds with the beneficiary’s closest birthday.
