cases within an organization, including the ability to make and attach notes/comments to the case.

Different versions of Exchange web pages (skip questions/shorter questions/low-speed and high volume versions)
Presumptive Eligibility: An abbreviated data collection web page that includes approximately six data fields
Type of Assister: If broker/agent is the assister, relationship of assister to insurance carriers
Assister Scope – Lower Priority

Draft Content The following slides represent draft wireframes for
the individual user experience under the Enroll UX 2014 project.
• These drafts are a work in progress and should not be considered final design products.
• Wireframes represent page layouts; no visual design is reflected. The actual “look and feel” of the user experience will be very different than portrayed here.
• Wireframes for the UX for assisters and the SHOP Exchange are not included.
Placeholder language is used throughout.
