Import functionality lets agents upload an existing book of business into the HealthSherpa account. Importing consumer records makes it simple to manage leads & clients, handle updates, process renewals, and more from the dashboard.

In this article we’ll cover:

Import functionality is not available within HealthSherpa Enrollee Assistance Full-Service account types.


Importing consumers

From the HealthSherpa dashboard, go to the Clients page or the Leads page.

Step 1: Select the Import button

Agents import client records from the Clients page and lead records from the Leads page. Make sure the correct page is selected, then select the Import button.

Step 2: Download the unique template

Select the Download CSV template button in step one of the instruction box.

The file linked in the instruction box is specific to the page you are on. The Comma Separated Values (CSV) template for importing leads is different from the CSV template for importing clients.

Step 3: Complete required fields

Complete all required fields listed in step two of the instruction box, and review information in the Tips section.

Step 4: Save & upload

Save the completed template as a CSV file.

When ready, select the completed file, then select Import CSV.

Step 5: Refresh

Refresh the page to view imported records.

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) grants Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) permission to agents for their enrollments, which enables data syncs. When an application has an EDE data sync, the HealthSherpa dashboard shows the most up-to-date application information.

Importing a consumer record does not create an EDE connection. Importing only adds the consumer’s information to the Leads page or Clients page. With consumer consent, an agent can begin the enrollment process or search & claim the consumer's existing application to generate an EDE connection.


Using import templates

The Comma Separated Values (CSV) template for importing leads is different from the CSV template for importing clients.

Each template includes required fields, and the required fields vary based on the template type.

When importing consumer records:

  • Remove the sample information listed in the template before importing the file.

  • Do not adjust the headers in the template or rearrange columns.
