NEWS: HealthSherpa: Simplify Client Consent and Authorization for PY27

October 23, 2026•1 min read

Manage Consent and Authorizations in One Workflow

HealthSherpa is making it easier to prepare clients for enrollment by allowing agents to collect consent, PY26 authorization, and PY27 authorization in a single request instead of sending separate requests.


Key Updates for Agents

Collect Consent and Authorizations Together

Use one workflow to request client consent and PY26 and PY27 authorizations, helping simplify the process as you prepare for open enrollment.

Send Authorization Requests in Spanish

HealthSherpa automatically sends authorization requests in English or Spanish based on the language listed on the client’s Marketplace application. The request and authorization page appear in the same language. Spanish support for bulk requests is coming soon.

Track Authorization Status in Exports

A new authorization_status field shows each client’s current authorization status:

  • Agent accounts: Available in the Clients export

  • Agency accounts: Available in the Enrollment export

  • PY26 applications: Available now

  • PY27 applications: Status will be available when open enrollment begins
