The consumer dashboard is a self-service tool that reduces the need for consumers to contact their agent after an enrollment submission.

In this article we'll cover:


Consumer dashboard at a glance

Tech-savvy consumers can log in on their own to handle many of the most common post-enrollment needs, freeing agents to focus on more complex service needs.

The consumer dashboard displays several pages down the left-hand side including Coverage, Notices, & Agent info.

Using the available pages within the consumer dashboard, consumers can:

  • View plan details & summary of benefits

  • View enrollment history & application status

  • Edit and update the application

  • View follow-up documentation requests

  • Upload follow-up documents

  • Make the initial premium payment

  • View notices generated by the Marketplace

  • View agent contact information

Any action a consumer takes in the consumer dashboard syncs to the agent’s HealthSherpa account, and vice versa.

Agents can customize the logo and contact information displayed during the consumer dashboard experience using the Marketing page.


Creating a consumer dashboard

Every consumer enrolled through HealthSherpa receives an invitation to create a consumer dashboard. Consumers can also create a consumer dashboard when using an agent’s Invalid Action error Resume Link.

The consumer will receive an email from no_reply@healthsherpa.com. This email will display the agent’s contact information.

When the consumer selects the option to go to their dashboard, they will be prompted to create a HealthSherpa account or log in to an existing HealthSherpa account.

Per Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations, consumers must verify their identity to access their account.

After successful identity verification

After the consumer successfully verifies their identity, the consumer will have the option to create an account.

The primary contact will have ongoing access to the account they create. After successful account creation, the primary contact will be granted access to their consumer dashboard.

Consumers may sign back into their consumer dashboard at any time by visiting HealthSherpa.com and entering their login information, or by reopening their Invalid Action error Resume Link.


Coverage page

When the consumer logs into their consumer dashboard, they will land on the Coverage page.

The Coverage page is broken into several sections including Follow-ups, Plans, & Enrollments.

Follow-ups

The Follow-ups section allows consumers to upload documents that may be required to satisfy Data Matching Issues (DMIs) and Special Enrollment Period (SEP) Verification Issues (SVIs).

Consumers can select Verify next to the desired follow-up item to proceed with document upload. Verify may update to View or Re-verify after documentation is submitted.

From the Verify page, the consumer can select documents from their device to upload, review the list of acceptable documents for that follow-up item, and view document submission history.

If a Pay button appears within the Follow-ups section, the consumer may select Pay to be directed to the carrier payment page to make the initial payment.

Plans

From the Plans section, consumers can view plan details, a summary of benefits, the Marketplace application ID, & more.

Enrollments

The Enrollments section displays the consumer’s carrier & plan name, enrollment submission & effective date, net premium and advance premium tax credit (APTC) amount, & the Marketplace application ID. The consumer can also download the Marketplace Eligibility Notice associated with the application.

Consumers may experience many changes throughout the year. Application edits and updates are often needed when a consumer experiences changes.

Consumers can make edits to the application and select an alternative plan if eligible by selecting Update from the Enrollments section.


Notices page

The Notices page within the consumer dashboard allows consumers to view notices generated by the Marketplace.

Notices that may appear include:

  • Insufficient documentation

  • Documentation deadline passed

  • Documentation follow-up resolved, or escalated

  • Failure to Reconcile Taxes

  • Periodic Data Matching Notification

  • Message from Marketplace Eligibility Support


Agent Info page

The Agent info page within the consumer dashboard displays writing agent information when applicable.

The Agent info page will also display National Producer Number (NPN) override information when applicable. Visibility into the Agent info section depends on how the consumer’s application was submitted and may not appear for all consumers.


Frequently asked questions

What if the consumer's identity cannot be verified?

If a consumer experiences any issues verifying their identity, troubleshooting steps are available.

Is the primary contact the only person able to access the consumer dashboard?

Yes. Only the primary contact may access an existing consumer dashboard because the dashboard is tied to the existing application.

Can consumers adjust their dashboard language?

Yes. Consumers can select the language listed at the top of the dashboard to switch between English and Spanish.

How do consumers reset their HealthSherpa password?

Consumers who do not remember the password associated with their consumer dashboard can request a password reset link when logging in. Enter the email address linked to the consumer account, then follow the instructions in the password reset email.

Consumers who are already signed in to the consumer dashboard can update the password from the Gear icon. Select Settings to open the Account Settings page. Here, consumers can enter a new password, then select Save & update.

Can consumers create a consumer dashboard before completing an application?

No. A consumer dashboard can only be created after submitting an application.
