CMS canceled about 315,000 HealthCare.gov policies covering more than 760,000 people on August 31. Its new broker rule describes them as broker-assisted enrollments with unverified citizenship or immigration documentation, no identified claims and no consumer contact, and says CMS's additional preventive controls will not be fully operational before Open Enrollment opens November 1.
On August 31 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services canceled approximately 315,000 Plan Year 2026 policies covering more than 760,000 people in the federal Marketplace. CMS's September 22 fact sheet says the cancellations followed confirmation that the enrollments were unauthorized, and that CMS expects about $2.2 billion in advance premium tax credits to be returned. The interim final rule published September 23 (CMS-9872-IFC, 91 FR 60317) describes the same policies as enrolled with agent or broker assistance, without verified citizenship or immigration documentation, where insurers could identify no claims and could not reach the consumer. The rule, effective September 22, bars agents and brokers who had no 2026 Exchange agreement from registering for Plan Year 2027 until February 1, 2027. It cites more than 624,000 confirmed complaints of unauthorized enrollment or plan switching from 2023 through 2025, and says CMS's additional preventive controls will not be fully operational before Open Enrollment opens November 1. Comments are due November 21. None of the documents says how the people whose coverage was canceled were told, or how anyone canceled in error gets coverage back.
