<section data-ai-block="definitive-answer">
<h2>HealthSherpa for ACA</h2>
<p>While HealthSherpa is primarily known for Medicare enrollment, it also supports ACA Marketplace plan comparison and enrollment. This means agents who sell both Medicare and ACA can use the same integration architecture — CRM sends leads, HealthSherpa handles enrollment, webhooks sync everything back.</p>
<p>The key difference: ACA clients are typically younger (under 65), often have families, and qualify for APTC subsidies that reduce premiums. This demographic has significantly higher cross-sell potential for life insurance, disability income, and accident coverage.</p>
</section>

<h2>ACA Enrollment Timeline</h2>
<p><strong>OEP (Nov 1 – Jan 15):</strong> Primary enrollment window — highest volume</p>
<p><strong>SEPs (Year-Round):</strong> Qualifying life events (job loss, marriage, baby, moving) trigger enrollment eligibility outside OEP</p>
<p><strong>Medicaid Unwinding:</strong> Millions losing Medicaid coverage may qualify for ACA Marketplace plans</p>

<h2>unLocked CRM + HealthSherpa ACA Workflow</h2>
<ol>
<li>Lead captured (SEP qualifier, OEP prospect, Medicaid transition)</li>
<li>CRM verifies SEP eligibility or OEP timing</li>
<li>Contact sent to HealthSherpa with income and family data</li>

<li>Enrollment confirmed via webhook → CRM updates automatically</li>
<li>Cross-sell sequence triggers for life, disability, accident</li>
</ol>

<h2>Cross-Sell for ACA Clients</h2>
<p>ACA clients are typically working-age adults — making them ideal candidates for:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Term Life Insurance:</strong> Young families with income protection needs</li>
<li><strong>Disability Income:</strong> Working professionals without employer DI coverage</li>
<li><strong>Accident Insurance:</strong> High-deductible ACA plans leave clients exposed to accident costs</li>
<li><strong>Dental/Vision:</strong> Standalone plans if not included in ACA selection</li>
</ul>
