# Introduction

The **HealthSherpa Medicare Partner API** enables agencies and partners to integrate their CRM systems with HealthSherpa’s Medicare platform.

This API currently supports:

* **Creating** new Contacts in the HealthSherpa system
* **Updating** existing Contact information
* **Keeping your CRM in sync** with HealthSherpa’s contact database

Each Contact is associated with a specific agent within your agency, ensuring proper attribution and access control.

The fields for the Contact cover basic demographic info, contact info, and eligibility info.

The API uses standard JSON for data exchange and returns clear, structured error messages to help you maintain data integrity.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.healthsherpa.com/healthsherpa-for-medicare/getting-started/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
