Approving Your Agent for 2027: What to Expect on Your Phone or Email

David follows up from (863) 640-3102 (save this number so your phone recognizes the call).

Direct answer: Before a licensed agent can look up or update your 2027 HealthCare.gov application, you will approve a one-time link or code sent to your phone or email (valid for 15 minutes) and complete a short identity check if prompted. It is not a credit check, and you never share your HealthCare.gov password.

Why 2027 Marketplace reviews include a phone or email verification step

Following the CMS Marketplace anti-fraud actions announced in September 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) added stronger identity and consumer-authorization safeguards on the Federal Marketplace.

These rules protect your household from unauthorized agent switches. They mean that even when you ask a trusted, licensed agent like David Huff to review or update your 2027 application, the system requires you to actively confirm that permission on your own phone or email before any application change can take place.

The 3 steps to expect during your scheduled review call

When we review your 2027 Marketplace options together by phone or screen share, here is how the verification flow works:

Step	What happens	What you do
1. Documented review consent	Before searching your Marketplace record, David records your consent to review your eligibility and plan options and confirms his license numbers (FL #W371813, NPN 18213932).	Confirm that you want David Huff to assist with your 2027 Marketplace review. A review is not enrollment.
2. One-time approval link or code (15-minute window)	The enrollment platform sends a one-time verification link or security code to your mobile phone or email address to confirm you are authorizing David as your agent of record.	Open the text message or email while we are on the line and approve the request or read back the one-time authorization code before the 15-minute timer expires.
3. Identity verification questions (if prompted)	For new applications or updated security checks, CMS and Experian identity proofing may ask three to four multiple-choice questions from public records (for example, a past street name or vehicle loan year).	Answer the identity questions or upload a photo ID if Experian cannot verify your history automatically. This is an identity check, not a credit application, and does not affect your credit score.

How to tell a legitimate review apart from an unauthorized call

Use these boundaries to keep full control of your HealthCare.gov coverage during 2027 Open Enrollment (November 1 through January 15):

You initiate or schedule the review. If you receive an unexpected code or link when you are not on a scheduled call with David from (863) 640-3102, do not click or share it.
Your HealthCare.gov login stays private. David never asks for your HealthCare.gov username or password.
No Social Security Number on website lead forms. You do not need an SSN to request a quote or use our 2027 ACA Subsidy Estimator. Verifiable applicant information is only entered on the official Marketplace application when you choose to apply.
Verify licensure anytime. You can confirm David Huff's multi-state record (NPN 18213932, FL License #W371813) on the NIPR National Producer Number lookup or see all 23 licensed states.

Frequently asked questions

Why did I receive a one-time link or code during my Marketplace review?

CMS added electronic consumer authorization so an agent or broker cannot access or update a HealthCare.gov application without your active approval. When you work with a licensed agent, a one-time link or security code is sent to your phone or email and typically expires after 15 minutes.

Does the Marketplace identity check affect my credit score?

No. The Marketplace uses identity-verification questions (often powered by Experian identity proofing) to confirm you are the person requesting access. It is an identity check, not a credit application, and it does not affect your credit score.

Should I ever share my HealthCare.gov password with an agent?

No. Never share your HealthCare.gov username or password with anyone. You keep your own login credentials, and you only approve an agent through the official authorization step during a scheduled review.

Do I need to enter my Social Security Number on this website to request a review?

No. You never need to enter a Social Security Number on this website to request a plan comparison or schedule a call with David Huff. CMS requires verifiable applicant information on the official Marketplace application itself when you decide to apply.
