ACA Express -vs- HealthSherpa

[KennyWest]

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

ACAExpress has two options:

Standard
$12.50 per enrollment as they are completed.

Pro Express
On 11/01/2016 pricing will be reduced to $99 and include the first 50 enrollments per month! PLUS, if you have more than one user in your agency the included applications are "pooled" between all users on Pro Express!

If you do not already have an ACAExpress profile you can set one up FREE here. Choose the Standard option and there will not be any fees unless you were to submit an application through to completion.

All plans are month to month so no long term agreements and can change anytime you want.

You can get cheaper but not better; no other platform provides all the features and tools we do to help you succeed!

Plus we are not an FMO, GA, MGA or similar as it to be so would be a conflict of interest.

Kenny, can we import applicants from our Sherpa accounts (via CSV upload) and then use the renew feature on ACA Express to renew those?

Missed this question but timing is good! Short answer: YES you can and it is a exclusive to ACAExpress feature.

We provide three import options of which the newest is:

NEW is: "Coming from Sherpa"
This provides the same results as "Import Book of Business" so you can leverage our Flashback Renewal tool. The challenge up till now has been the file did not have all the necessary info ACAExpress needed to match up and fetch the plan details for a customers 2016 plan. This import options takes the data and uses it to match with other data sources and fill in the blanks so you can use the Flashback renewal tool.

Upon upload by you, we review the file to ensure it is in correct format and fix any formatting errors. We are doing this as the export files provided to us and we used to create the mapping were not consistent in the data provided; some had commas in the field data themselves which can throw off mapping while others it appears either the user had edited in some way or the format had changed. There are also some which show as enrollments but have no Marketplace ID, this is the case with some in the file you sent. Once review is done and they are integrated support will inform you. While we ask for 48 hours leeway very few will take this long, most will happen same day, depending of course when submitted.

NOTE!
Before uploading, do not edit the file in such a way which will re-arrange or delete fields. All data is stored in a secure environment and will not be used for any reason other than as directed by you.

HealthSherpa finally updated to show 2017 rates. GOOD!

HealthSherpa hands off the applicant to HealthCare.gov. BAD! A NON-STARTER.

At ACA Express (Agent | ACAExpress) I see this little gem...

"We link directly to the back end of Healthcare.gov saving you time and headaches."

I assume (hope!) this means that the applicant stays at ACA Express from start to finish?

All WBE's must do the "Launch Marketplace" this OE. Stay tuned though for our "Full App" option which is slated to launch in a few days!

Please clarify the full app option? If all WBE have to comply with direction to HCG to create a account how will you be able to by pass this?

Would LOVE TO go over all the details but gotta leave me some "POP!" for the launch announcement! Read back a page or two in this thread for some hints.

It will be in compliance with all regs.

If you are seeing the error like the image below it is not an issue on ACAExpress end. I have confirmed this with other WBE's as well. Engineering is in contact with CMS and I will post here with an update when resolved.
