547-8156 (Press 5 for technical account creation assistance with GI, or

Designate a Broker Prior to Open EnrollmentTo 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.
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.

• BrokerConnect is the program for Brokers who have opted in on their GetInsured
profile setup to receive referral calls via the telephonic BrokerConnect platform (i.e.,
checking “Clients Served”).
• The call will always come from 1-800-547-2927. Please add this number to your
contacts.
• Each Broker’s phone will ring for 10 seconds (3-4 rings) before it gets transferred to
the next Broker. When receiving a call from BrokerConnect, please pick up the call as
fast as possible to not lose the lead to the next Broker.
• We encourage you to use your mobile number for BrokerConnect the lead call is not
directed to an office IVR system, and possible causing the caller to drop off the call.
• To be included in the program, the Brokers need to make sure that they:
o Sign up for the Program by making sure that “Clients Served” is checked in their
Account Profile, and
o Hours of availability for each day is noted.
Please Note: BrokerConnect is only available to certified agents/brokers, not EEFs or CACs.

Consumer Communication
Q & AQ: 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.
