If you sell Anthem in California, you will NOT be getting paid for any newly enrolled Cal-COBRA or COBRA members after 2/1/10. I guess that means I don't have to do the work either when clients have questions.

In an effort for Anthem Blue Cross to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace as well as to decrease administrative costs for their groups and members, beginning February 1, 2010, they will no longer pay agent commissions (and this will impact overrides, as well), for newly enrolled members that elect state and federal COBRA benefits.
Anthem Blue Cross will continue to pay commissions and overrides for currently enrolled COBRA and Cal Cobra members.
Anthem Blue Cross will be sending out a hard copy letter to agents (this mailing will also include the revised commission schedule) on Monday November 16, 2009, as well as an eblast on Monday November 23, 2009.
Again, this change will take place beginning with February 1, 2010 for newly enrolled COBRA members in all group business.
