Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) is a CMS-approved technology. HealthSherpa was the first to implement EDE and is one of the only enrollment platforms that has this new technology.

Enhanced Direct Enrollment allows HealthSherpa to fully integrate with Healthcare.gov so you can do applications entirely on HealthSherpa without being redirected to Healthcare.gov. 

How do I enable EDE?

Before you can access the benefits of EDE, you will need to get EDE approved. You can do this in just a few minutes by clicking 'Enable EDE' from your dashboard to follow the steps outlined here.

What else can I do with Enhanced Direct Enrollment?

Because we are fully integrated with Healthcare.gov, you can do all of the following directly on HealthSherpa: 

  • Get current status of application on Healthcare.gov

  • Identify required follow-ups

  • Upload documents

  • Make binder payments

  • Edit existing application

  • Report Life Changes

  • Renew plans using pre-filled applications

  • Download eligibility results and 1095-A tax forms

  • Plus more!
