Please note that we do not represent healthcare.gov or the Marketplace. These step by step instructions are
an unofficial guide and were put together to assist you in creating an account.

password that you would only use for this. During your appointment with Valley Insurance
Professionals, you will need to be logged into your healthcare.gov account and have internet access.

3. Right below the green “LOG IN” button you’ll see “Don’t have an account? Create one now.” Click on
