Health Sherpa

how does one become a navagator?

Can't be a navigator and an agent at the same time. You can't be compensated by a carrier and still be a navigator.

Me thinks we will have plenty of WBE platform choices, no reason to sleep with the first one. I read there are 36+ WBE's now

Quadrant 4 Announces U.S. Federal Government Agreement With the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services - WSJ.com

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., July 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quadrant 4 System Corporation (OTCQB:QFOR) announced today that it was awarded a U.S. Federally Facilitated Exchange Web Broker Entity (WBE) Agreement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

This is a much more substantial company that Health Sherpa.

It's going to be an interesting OEP for 2015 with all these new additions to the enrollment landscape-all I want is a site that can be personalized to just show the plans for the companies I represent and can process applications reliably in about the same amount of time as the current Health Sherpa configuration. Give me that and I am a happy camper...

as im sure you are aware or at least should be when dealing with web-brokers all plans MUST be shown... there can be no selective displaying on client facing site/link. Guess you wont be a happy camper

Ehealth.com has a web broker contract and lists all of the Florida Blue plans at the bottom of the plan search for Florida in this manner:

Florida Blue HMO (a BlueCross BlueShield FL company)

BlueCare Essential (HSA) 1497
Bronze

eHealth is not able to display plan information about this Qualified Health Plan at this time. To obtain more information about this Qualified Health Plan, please go to the Federally-faciliated Marketplace website at https://www.healthcare.gov.


That is an acceptable solution for me and I have to assume that since the largest web broker uses this workaround it is fully compliant as well.

All of this recent web-broker news seems to be putting to rest what HHS said last month about not allowing alternative pathways to enrollment for 2015. It could have been a mis-quote by the author of that story.

So what's wrong with Quotit and Norvax. Haven't they "streamlined" the subsidy qualifying/plan application process yet? After all, they've been around and working with Health and Human Services longer than HealthSherpa.

They want an arm, leg and your first born (cost too high)

Well then, in that case GOD BLESS Sherpa and other Start-Ups who appreciate agents. Competition IS GOOD if the front-to-back quality is there.

I'm afraid Quotit and Norvax may be the "Yellow Pages" of the future. Keep up or get run over. It is a good lesson for all of us, to keep current, pivot on a dime, and be efficient.
