7. Designate a Broker Prior to Open Enrollment
To designate a Broker prior to open enrollment, consumers need to have an account. Consumers do not need to have an application before they designate a Broker.
Consumer designation workflow process:
Consumers and Brokers are populated via data migration from the Federal Marketplace. New consumers cannot currently create their own account, but will be able to on November 1, 2019 when open enrollment starts.
If an existing consumer already has an agent/broker of record from plan year 2019 and that broker is certified, they will have that broker designated to them in the new GetInsured platform. They will NOT be able to change this designation, but if need be, the consumer will be able to change this designation once open enrollment begins.
If an existing consumer already has an agent/broker of record from plan year 2019 but that broker is NOT certified, they will NOT have that Broker designated to them in GetInsured platform, and the consumer can designate any certified broker in the GetInsured platform.
If an existing consumer had no broker of record from plan year 2019, they can designate a certified broker in the GetInsured platform starting Sept. 4th.

8. Designate a Broker – Populating Your B.o.B.
Step-by-Step instructions to designate a Broker:
Walk the consumer through the account activation process by directing consumers to enroll.nevadahealthlink.com to enter their access code and claim their account.
Once a consumer has completed the steps to claim their account, they will be taken to a page that will allow them to designate a Broker.
Direct a consumer to click on the “Find Free Local Assistance” button.
Direct the consumer to click on the button to the left “Find A Nevada Certified Agent or Broker Near You.”
Direct the consumer to enter your (Broker) first and last name in the appropriate boxes and press “Search.” Your information will display if you have opted into displaying it during the account creation process.
Direct the consumer to click on your name and press “Continue.”
Direct the consumer to read and mark the three check boxes, enter their name in the “Applicant E-Signature” box, and press “Confirm.”
The consumer will receive a “Congratulations” screen indicating a successful designation.
Once the consumer has successfully claimed their account and designated you as their Broker of record you will need to login to your Nevada Health Link account and click on the “Individuals” tab and then click on “Pending Requests.”
You will then click on the “Action” gear drop-down and click on “Accept.”
The consumer will move from pending request to the “Active Individuals” queue.

12. Q & A
Q: The Federal Marketplace prohibits Brokers from signing on the Marketplace on behalf of the client, even if the client gives permission to do so. Will the NV Marketplace be the same?  So that the client must log in and THEN we can assist?
A: Brokers will have more autonomy than the Federal Marketplace to act as a proxy for their clients. Brokers can click on any consumer on the Broker’s Active Individuals screen and go the member portal to complete that consumer’s application, shop on their behalf, and even update their demographic information. Additionally, Brokers have the ability to start and complete a new application for a consumer and be auto-designated to that consumer. The agent can complete the entire flow on behalf of a consumer including creating the consumer’s account, completing the application, shopping for the plan, and enrolling the consumer.
