Health Sherpa 2016 Open Enrollment

HealthSherpa is no longer accepting applications for 1/1/2016 effective date due to technical issues with HealthCare.gov.

Because the Marketplace is currently unable to accept applications reliably, they have given us the ability to place your pending applications "in-line" for a 1/1 effective date. In-line customers must call the Marketplace by December 31, 2015 to enroll for coverage effective 1/1/2016. HealthSherpa will submit all unarchived pending applications for 1/1 coverage to the "in-line" list at Healthcare.gov at midnight Pacific Time (3am EST) TONIGHT. While we will submit your NPN with your customers' names, we strongly suggest that you follow the process below to ensure that you receive credit for their enrollment.

Customers placed in-line must call the Marketplace no later than December 31, 2015 and state that they were on the "in-line" list and would like to apply for coverage effective 1/1/2016.

How to get your In-Line Consumers Through for a 1/1/2016 Effective Date •You and your consumer call HealthCare.gov TOGETHER at 800-318-2596.
•Have the consumer state that they are on the "in-line" list and would like to apply for coverage effective 1/1/2016.
•When the Marketplace representative asks about who is assisting the consumer, make sure you provide your name and NPN.
•You MUST make this call to HealthCare.gov no later than December 31, 2015.
•Archive the application on your HealthSherpa dashboard after the call.
If you have received an "Enrollment Confirmation" from HealthSherpa for a consumer, they are enrolled and this message does not apply to them.

Well, due to technical problems (which are apparently only affecting HS) I've been successfully submitting business through ACA Express all morning.

Today was my 1st experience with ACA Express and all I can say is...what the hell took me so long to switch.

I think we've given HealthSherpa more than enough time to fix their never ending stream of issues. Hell, they still haven't fixed the original problem I brought to their attention exactly a year ago with iFrames. The best answer I got was "well, most of our agents use the link anyways"

Thanks ACA Express for having a platform that functions as advertised!

Dittos. Once Kenny got involved and discovered the technical glitch that kept my apps being stuck, things went smoothly and stuck apps got unstuck and are now showing as complete.

Have preferred the look and feel of the software with Sherpa, especially the plan comparison side by side feature. But customer service with Sherpa is virtually non-existent.

I think that like UHC, Sherpa is pulling out without actually telling anyone they are pulling out. Leaving it up to us to figure it out.

Thanks Kenny. Will be using ACAX as my preferred WBE to the extent I use one at all.

For the most part, just done with all of this Ocare crap.
:skeptical:

I'm sold. I signed up online for ACAExpress, but now I have not received the confirmation email allowing me to access my portal. How long does it normally take to arrive? I've completed all the setup, licensing, payment, etc., I am just waiting now for the email that gains me access to start writing sales.

Email me at [email protected] with the email address you used to sign up with and the Company name you input...
 
If you follow HealthSherpa's advice and call the Marketplace with the Applicant, you could find yourself stripped from the enrollment. Just use ACA Express and avoid that potential problem. Remember to delete your "pending" apps from HealthSherpa after ACA Express has successfully enrolled the applicant.
 
I've been using eBroker without issue other than having to wait on hc.gov to pull up. I even emailed eBroker with a mistake I made and asked how to fix it. I emailed them at 1:35 pm and they responded at 2:00 pm. Not bad considering the volume of business going on today.

I'm sure ACA Express is great, but eBroker was doing a free trial for the month of December. So I went ahead and took advantage of the free trial instead of using ACA Express. Mainly because I just don't think I'll be doing anymore on-exchange business after today. I'm so over this headache.
