Frequently Asked Questions
What is HealthSherpa?
HealthSherpa is the #1 ACA quoting and enrollment platform in the country. It’s a CMS-approved Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) site that lets licensed agents quote, enroll, and manage Marketplace clients without ever logging into HealthCare.gov.
Does HealthSherpa cost anything?
No. HealthSherpa is free for agents — no monthly fee and no per-application cost. Insurance carriers compensate HealthSherpa, so agents get full platform access at no charge.
Why sign up through IHA using join code 9919?
Can I still use my existing carrier appointments?
Yes. HealthSherpa works with your existing ACA carrier appointments. It’s a quoting and enrollment tool on top of your contracts — not a replacement for them.
How do commissions work on HealthSherpa?
You get paid standard ACA commissions directly from the carriers you’re appointed with. HealthSherpa simply delivers the enrollment to the carrier and attaches your NPN to the application.
How fast can I start enrolling?
Most agents create a HealthSherpa account in minutes and can begin quoting the same day. FFM certification and carrier appointments must be in place before you can submit live enrollments.
