ACA Express -vs- HealthSherpa

[agentinsure]

Thanks, glad you like them!

Yes, that is the company. Here are links to the product brochures themselves:

NG Fixed Benefit: https://quotenatgen.ngic.com/Content/NGAH-AFBBRO.09.06.16.pdf
NG Cancer/Heart/Stroke: https://quotenatgen.ngic.com/Content/NGAH-CHSBRO.09.14.16.pdf
NG Crit Illness – Term life: https://quotenatgen.ngic.com/Content/NGAH-CITLBRO.09.14.16.pdf
NG Dental: https://quotenatgen.ngic.com/Content/NGAH-TICDENTALBROCHURE.08.07.16.pdf

There are also STM products but I cannot locate the links to them right now. FWIU one is underwritten and one is GI.

Apologies for lack of more detailed info though keep in mind ACAExpress.com, unlike it's competitors I might add, is not an FMO, GA, MGA or similar and thus details on commissions, etc. are 100% between the agent/agency and NatGen.

Alas, CMS has not yet released plan data files to us (or any WBE for that matter). Stay tuned!

I dont know about you but I wouldnt want them getting my client names, they hire agents each year to sell insurance just like we do from what i have seen of their agency, albiet part of their operation goes under the name Velapoint, but they are all in the same building same owners from what i have seen

Part of the agreement with them includes protections along that line. I have known many of them for many, many years and have never heard of what you describe occurring. To lend further confidence on this, a very large number of FMO's and very large agencies have used them for many years and after having spoken to them they have never voiced this as a concern for them. I bring this as well on another front as these types have another concern - their agents are very important to them and making sure they are not contracting direct, etc.

UPDATE: 10/21/2016 Two new features launched!

- Launched "Flashback" which was our internal name for the "Renewal" feature.

From your Dashboard click 'Renewal'. Below are screenshots.

and then click on "Renew"

There is also an option to email to the customer. Here is the format of the email sent:

============================
Subject: Healthcare Plan Details For You

Hi,

As requested I have prepared a health insurance plan quote for you. Please check out the details by clicking the link below.
https://<AGENTS_SUBDOMAIN.acaexpress.com/flashback?id=<UNIQUE_ID_NUMBER

From there you'll have the ability to click "enroll" and quickly complete the enrollment on your own, generally in under a couple minutes. Otherwise, feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.


Regards,


AGENT_NAME
AGENT_ORG_NAME
AGENT_PHONE_NUMBER
AGENT_EMAIL_ADDRESS
============================

- Launched feature which makes plan selected stay in the shopping cart.
To use this you would choose a plan. To use this it is required that make it to, but not past of course, the screen which displays "Launch Marketplace".
We had many users ask for this for various reasons which are obvious as well as ability to then use the "Transfer" feature to reassign the lead to a different agent within the Org for them to complete the enrollment.

I believe your right and i met to go back and delete that last message today but got sidetracked. I happen to be speaking with AHCP today and saw Nat Gen as one of their carriers and they told me more that i didnt know before when i posted that comment. It just caught my attention because I have seen nat gen advertise for retail agents for their call center. But thanks for addressing that as thoroughly as you did. 10x the reply we;d ever get out of those other guys, well may 100x.

Important to note is your ability to use our "Import Book of Business" feature which would then extrapolate for all plans you have enrolled people in prior and match up the best matching plan, whether that carrier is available or another carrier. Carriers displayed is based on which you set in your user settings.

Second is updated overview of the site itself. It goes over, amongst other things:

Forgot to add.. If anyone has not yet either watched the video (or did and did not notice) towards the end of the full video you might have noticed in the Org settings a new option labeled: "Enrollment Completion Mode". This will be launched very soon (in final testing now) and solves the low completion rate for consumer direct enrollments! THIS ONE ROCKS!



While other platforms only way to compete is on price, ACAExpress wins by having the features agents need in this competitive landscape.

How much are the fees for healthsherpa and ACA express for 2017?

How much are the fees for healthsherpa and ACA express for 2017?

From what I have gathered and what I'm considering, we have:

- ACA express; $12.5 per enrollment or $150/mo per user
- HealthSherpa; $5 per enrollment,
- Ebroker; $49/mo per user, only for AEP, so only 3 months in a year, the rest is free
- QuotitOne; $1 per enrollment
- Welltheos; basic version free

During SEP I have tested HealthSherpa, Eborker and Welltheos, all of them had some glitches, but now I suspect that it was due to change in Blue Cross system, not theirs.
