Consumers often need to upload documents to verify Special Enrollment Period (SEP) eligibility and resolve any Data Matching Issues (DMIs) that arise. When required, resolving documentation requests on time helps consumers maintain eligibility and ensures coverage can take effect.

The Follow-up document reminder email allows consumers to to receive notification when documentation requests are outstanding.

Consumers will follow the below steps when submitting documents using the Follow-up document reminder email.

Step 1: Receive email

When the Follow-up document reminder emails is sent directly from HealthSherpa, the consumer receives an email from no_reply@healthsherpa.com.

Agents can manually prompt consumers to submit follow-up documents by sending a unique Documents due link. When the unique upload link is shared (either sent from HealthSherpa or copied and shared another way), the consumer receives the Follow-up document reminder email.

Step 2: Select Submit documents

When the consumer selects the Submit documents button, the consumer is prompted to create an account or sign in.

Step 3: Create an account

Per Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations, if they haven’t already done so, consumers need to have their identity verified in order to access their account.

After successful identity verification takes place, the consumer is given the option to create an account.

Step 4: View follow-up tasks

The primary contact will have ongoing access to the account they create.

After successful account creation, the consumer lands on the Submit documents to secure your coverage screen. Here, they can view their follow-up tasks.

Step 5: Upload documents

Selecting Upload docs next to any follow-up task opens a window allowing the consumer to proceed with document upload.

The documents required vary depending on the type of Data Matching Issue (DMI) or Special Enrollment Period (SEP) Verification Issue (SVI) that needs to be satisfied. In some cases, it may be necessary to submit multiple documents to resolve a single DMI or SVI.

Each verify page contains a list of acceptable documents the consumer may choose from to satisfy the specific follow-up item in question. Select the document type, find the file on the computer, and upload.

The consumer may repeat the upload process as many times as needed (for example, if multiple documents need to be uploaded, documents need to be resubmitted, or revised or additional documentation is required).
