Onboarding

7 steps to get up and running.

Follow this path in order and you'll be quoting and enrolling clients with IHA inside of a week.

1

Request onboarding

Tell us about your license, the carriers you want, and the states you write in. Most onboardings are processed within 1–2 business days.

2

Get contracted with carriers

Pick the carriers you want appointments with by line of business and state. Contracts are submitted by IHA's contracting team — no chasing carrier reps yourself.

3

Join IHA on HealthSherpa (join code 9919)

Sign up for HealthSherpa under IHA's hierarchy so all your ACA enrollments roll up correctly. Free to use — carriers pay HealthSherpa, not you.

4

Tour the demo agent site

See what a live IHA agent's quoting site looks like, how leads land in your dashboard, and how the back-office connects everything.

5

Join us on Slack

Real-time help from IHA staff and other agents. Ask carrier questions, share leads, get plan-design feedback before your client call.

6

Set up Spark (Medicare CRM)

Free Medicare quoting, scope-of-appointment, enrollment, and CRM — all in one platform through IHA. Spark is now the default Medicare CRM for MAPD, PDP, and Med Supp business and pulls override credit back to your IHA contract.

7

Get E&O coverage (if you don't have it)

Errors & Omissions insurance is required by most carriers before you can write business. Apply for low-cost coverage through 360 Coverage Pros.

Member voices · From the IHA Slack

Real producers. Real wins.

Five of the 200+ producers inside IHA — pulled straight from our Slack workspace. None of these are paid endorsements. They're the agents we work alongside every day.

IHA gave me the back-office and contracting muscle I couldn't build alone. I focus on producing now — and I was able to launch a state-approved CE business on top of it because the platform finally gave me room to breathe.

Florida & Georgia · ACA + CE founder

When PA extended its marketplace deadline mid-cycle, IHA had the workflow updated before the carrier rep had emailed me. The Slack moves faster than the carriers do.

Illinois · ACA & Marketplace producer

ACA, group, BCBS escalations, QLE workflows — the questions never stop. IHA's Slack means I never wait more than 15 minutes for a real answer. That alone has saved me dozens of cases.

Florida · ACA, Group & Ancillary

Every conversation in the Slack has a tip in it that pays for membership ten times over. I cut my CE renewals from $300 to $50 because of one link someone dropped on a slow Tuesday.

Iowa & Illinois · Multi-line broker

When you're closing a case at 6pm on a Tuesday, you need a back-office that's still online — and a commissions team that pays on the day they say they will. That's table stakes here.
