Whose email address may the agent enter into the LEAN enrollment application?

• A. The agent's email.
• B. Only the consumer's email (or leave it blank).
• C. A family member's email.
• D. The plan's general contact email.

Answer: (B)

The email field on an enrollment application should reflect the consumer’s own contact information (or be left blank if the consumer has no email). This ensures that enrollment communications and confirmations go directly to the person whose enrollment is being processed, protecting privacy and maintaining data accuracy. Using the agent’s email, a family member’s, or the plan’s general contact could misdirect sensitive information and create a record that doesn’t belong to the consumer or that the consumer didn’t authorize to receive notices. If the consumer truly does not have an email or opts not to provide one, leaving it blank is appropriate so there’s no risk of unintended disclosures.
