How Many?

If no issues with website, or identity verification, it could take 20 minutes on low end for a single person and fixed income, and without any health plan discussion. Add another 15-30 min for plan discussion, depending on CSR, county, network, formulary, etc.

Up to an hour with family of 4 + plan discussion

Wow. An hour without the plan discussion? Didn't know it took so long. Hat tip

Yep, I've done many in less than 30 minutes, sit down, set up email, create account, check email, log in, enter information, pick plan, enroll, out the door. Then there are the ones with identity verification problems, kids, etc and it can draw out to more than an hour easy.

I got one single app through on-exchange. Most complex case I've ever encountered.

Website gave me the "high volume" error every step of the way. No exaggeration, literally every time I hit "next" it had an error forcing me to go back and refresh, or log out/in and continue from the main screen.

About 2 hours to get through the site, not counting plan discussion or initial consultation. They had every document I could possibly need on-hand.

From the user experience, this seems like the busiest the NY exchange has ever been, it didn't even have this many problems the first week.

Yup, I got 1 family application through as well through HealthCare.gov. Took about 4 hours. HealthCare.gov was bogged down on and off through the whole application process which is why it took so long. Usually takes 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
I'm glad this is over. Hopefully the next OEP will be much easier and many of these glitches will be gone.

Hopefully this will be repealed before we suffer through another OEP.

I use the analogy of a full body tattoo. That is what ACA is, you can't repeal a tattoo, it is permanent. At best we can tattoo over it, but it will be a forever mark and change in the way things were.

I'm counting apps, we did just over 140. Lives, that would be about 200+ insureds +/- a dozen.

A Med Supp yesterday, that website worked just fine.

Depends on your state. BTW, please do what's best for your client, not your pocketbook. Focus on them, and the money and referrals will follow

30 in one day??? Geez. How much in commission?

Also, how is that possible in one day? By the time you do the subsidy app, then explain some options for plans, you're already at 45 minutes. Throw in objections and doubts and questions in the mix, and you got at least an hour. How?

about $95k in annual premium, mostly call in's (referrals)...couldnt even call them all back lol..........def way diff than how health ins used to be, used to DREAD call in's....lol

still wish they wouldnt of extended the deadline, be happy when this is over and I go back to a proper SEO schedule.
