Are health insurance carriers paying out to brokers/ agents after Obamacare?

[Tams]

I am a fifty state licensed Health, Medicare, and Life agent. I recently started with a young start up company. Everyone was pretty excited. Since the marketplace has closed for AEP, carriers have still not paid out commissions on plans and seem to be having a very hard time reconciling. This is naturally creating a huge burden on the company. Are other Brokers/ Agents seeing the same trend or has the new company possibly gone wrong somewhere?

I know we are paying our Brokers $18 a month for each policy.

I'm trying to learn if the actual companies (BCBS, Aetna, Coventry, Humana, etc) are paying out they way they should. I don't know if it's an industry problem or just a problem that happened in our company.

I work for BCBS Nebraska, everybody is being paid on time here.

My wife is a health insurance agent. She hasn't been paid commissions on plans she sold through the market place because the people never paid their premium.
