What is HealthSherpa for Agents?

HealthSherpa is an innovative healthcare technology platform that specializes in Marketplace enrollment for agents—and it's completely free to use

Watch a short HealthSherpa for Agents overview video:

HealthSherpa Technology

With HealthSherpa you get access to a cutting edge technology called
Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE). This new technology allows HealthSherpa to integrate with your Healthcare.gov account, so that everything stays in sync.

How does HealthSherpa compare to healthcare.gov and other platforms?

Agent-assisted enrollments: 

  • On HealthSherpa, an application takes 8 minutes on average, vs 16 minutes on Healthcare.gov.

  • No client account log in required

Other interesting stats:

  • 75% of HealthSherpa applications will be pre-filled

  • With EDE, effectuation (payment made and follow-ups resolved) increases from 65% to 85%

  • For call centers using HealthSherpa, call times were reduced by 75%

What features do I get with HealthSherpa?

  • Report life changes and update client information 

  • Track your client's real-time Marketplace status 

You can also:

Want to refer all your ACA business to HealthSherpa, full service?

If you prefer not to write Marketplace plans, HealthSherpa can handle your healthcare.gov enrollments for you. 

With this account, you will get a unique enrollment link and phone number to give to your clients that are interested in healthcare.gov plans.  HealthSherpa will help your client shop and enroll for a plan. 

For each client that enrolls using your phone number or link, HealthSherpa will pay you a referral bonus. Because HealthSherpa only writes ACA, you can continue selling other insurance products to these clients!
