Just downloaded it from iTunes to my iPad. Will have to play with it later but looks good. Agents have to use as a "guest" but if you look at the login drop down menu you can see all of the Navs and Assisters listed :swoon:

How to use it:
The tool supports a five to ten minute conversation with a consumer to help them determine if they are eligible for a subsidy and what health plans may be available to purchase through Covered California.

At the end of August, the Enrollment Guide, a takeaway paper supplement for the consumer, will be available on the HBEX site for download as a PDF. The purpose of the Enrollment Guide is to capture the consumer’s information provided during your five to ten minute conversation. Later, the Get Covered tool will have the capability to email a proposal with this same information.

The Get Covered tool can help:
• Browse high-quality health insurance policies in your region – with a range of coverage options and prices.
• Find out if the consumer may qualify for federal premium assistance or Medi-Cal.
• Depending on their income, they may be eligible for a tax subsidy that pays for part of their premium.
• Visually explain if and how they might be eligible for a plan that helps pay for out-of-pocket costs such as doctor visits and medication.
• Walk through the health plan selection and enrollment process with consumers virtually anywhere.
• Serves as a reference tool in preparation for the field.
• Submit contact information for consumers requesting assistance with enrollment.

Information provided by the tool is estimated based on the information provided. The tool does not:
• Enroll consumer into a health plan.
• Perform any type of eligibility determination for consumers. All results are estimates, and show what a consumer may potentially be eligible for. The calculator does not factor in any type of eligibility information that isn't related to income.
• Perform any type of calculations for families with mixed eligibility.
• Supply Medi-Cal health plan options.
• Include information on the doctors or hospitals in the health plan networks
