CMS — Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Parent: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Domains in this note: cms.gov.

What they regulate

CMS administers Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and related federal health-insurance programs under HHS. Health insurance producers and brokers generally need state DOI licences and, where applicable, federal marketplace appointments. A BrokerMafia index row is not a CMS or state appointment. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. CMS home — Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and marketplace program context — not a state insurance producer licence register.
  2. Medicare.gov — Beneficiary-facing Medicare information; agent/broker appointments are separate.

Questions this page answers

Does CMS license health insurance brokers?

No. Producer licensing is primarily a state DOI path. CMS administers federal health programs; marketplace agent/broker roles have separate enrollment rules.

Is a BrokerMafia health-insurance row a CMS endorsement?

No. Indexed ≠ licensed ≠ recommended. Confirm state licences and any marketplace appointments on primary sources.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
