  • Memo to the Biden Administration Transition Team
    Memo to the Biden Administration Transition Team From: Trish Riley, National Academy for State Health Policy Executive Director Re: State-based marketplace strategies for insurance market stabilization and improvement Nov. 20, 2020 The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP), in close consultation with executives from state-based health insurance marketplaces (SBMs), has developed a list of priority actions that may: ● Lower costs and bring stability to individual and small group health insurance markets; ● Improve access to health insurance coverage; and/or ● Improve consumer experience when purchasing small group or individual market coverage. NASHP is home to the State Health Exchange Leadership Network, a consortium of state leaders and staff dedicated to operation of the SBMs. This list draws upon the experience of SBM leaders who have spent the past decade building and operating successful platforms for the procurement of health insurance coverage. These recommendations reflect NASHP’s collective discussions with SBM leaders, but do not reflect consensus across all SBMs. States value flexibility to design their programs to meet local needs and circumstances. For additional information specific to each state, please see Appendix A, which includes references to comments submitted by SBMs in response to various policy changes. We have also included the contact information for SBM executives who can provide additional information specific to their states. NASHP is ready to provide any additional information that may be helpful as you deliberate critically important issues related to health care coverage. Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives In
    Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Serving American Indians and Alaska Natives in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) staff work with beneficiaries, health care providers, state government, CMS contractors, community groups, and others to provide education and address questions. American Indians and Alaska Natives If you have questions about CMS programs in relation to American Indians or Alaska Natives: email the CMS Division of Tribal Affairs at [email protected], or contact the CMS Native American Contact (NAC). For a list of Native American contacts and their information, visit https://go.cms.gov/NACTAGlist To contact Indian Health Service in these states, contact the Nashville Area Office at 615-467-1500 or at https://www.ihs.gov/nashville/contactus/ Why enroll in CMS programs? When you sign up for Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or Medicare, the Indian health hospitals and clinics can bill these programs for services provided. This opportunity brings money into the health care facility, which they can use to hire more staff and pay for new equipment and building renovations, and saves Purchased and Referred Care dollars for other patients. Patients who enroll in CMS programs are not only helping themselves and others, but are also supporting their Indian health care hospital and clinics.

  • Rhode Island House Committee on Finance the Rhode Island Health Benefits Exchange Act May 28, 2014
    Rhode Island House Committee on Finance The Rhode Island Health Benefits Exchange Act May 28, 2014 Josh Archambault Senior Fellow [email protected] Chairman Gallison and members of the Finance Committee. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to testify. My name is Josh Archambault, and I am a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), a non-partisan think tank focused on health care and welfare issues at the state level. While FGA is located in Florida, I am based in Boston, and have spent nine years studying the successes and failures of the 2006 Massachusetts health reform law (Chapter 58 of the Acts of 2006) commonly called “RomneyCare.” My research has often focused specifically on the state- based exchange, called the Connector in the Bay State. In that light, I come today to share with you some of my thoughts on H. 7817 “The Rhode Island Health Benefits Exchange Act.” I would like you to takeaway three overarching messages when considering whether to advance this bill: 1) Rhode Island officials join numerous other states facing the fiscal reality of paying to keep the doors open at a state-based exchange with lower than expected enrollment. 2) Keeping the doors open for HealthSource RI will have unintended consequences and therefore must demonstrate a good return on investment and added value to the marketplace to justify additional taxpayer money. 3) Funding questions that surround HealthSource RI do not take place in a vacuum, as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) adds other state budgetary considerations to this discussion. For example, the previously eligible but not enrolled “woodwork” Medicaid population will add $55-100 million dollars to the Rhode Island state budget every year.

  • Factors That Contributed to Low Marketplace Enrollment Rates in Five States in 2015
    ACA Implementation—Monitoring and Tracking Factors That Contributed to Low Marketplace Enrollment Rates in Five States in 2015 October 2015 John Holahan, Linda J. Blumberg, Erik Wengle, Ian Hill, Rebecca Peters and Patricia Solleveld With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Urban Institute is undertaking a comprehensive monitoring and tracking project to examine the implementation and effects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA). The project began in May 2011 and will take place over several years. The Urban Institute will document changes to the implementation of national health reform to help states, researchers and policymakers learn from the process as it unfolds. Reports that have been prepared as part of this ongoing project can be found at www.rwjf.org and www.healthpolicycenter.org. The quantitative component of the project is producing analyses of the effects of the ACA on coverage, health expenditures, affordability, access and premiums in the states and nationally. INTRODUCTION In September 2015, the U.S. Department of Health and Human review of materials documenting enrollment efforts in these Services (HHS) released data indicating that an estimated 9.9 states.

  • Getting Into Gear for 2014: an Early Look at Branding and Marketing of New Health Insurance Marketplaces
    September 2013 | Issue Brief Getting into Gear for 2014: An Early Look at Branding and Marketing of New Health Insurance Marketplaces As of September 2013, states and the federal government are on the eve of their October 1st launch of open enrollment for the new Health Insurance Marketplaces, where consumers will be able to shop for and purchase private coverage and potentially receive subsidies to lower the cost of that coverage. Achieving adequate enrollment through these Marketplaces will be important for fulfilling the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) goal of reducing the nation’s uninsured rate. Moreover, sufficient enrollment, particularly among young and healthy individuals, will be important for ensuring the financial sustainability of the Marketplaces over time. Recognizing the importance of enrollment, the federal government and the 17 states operating State-based Marketplaces have invested resources and conducted extensive consumer research to inform the branding and marketing campaigns for their Marketplaces. Based on a review of publicly available materials as of September 2013, this brief provides an examination of the Marketplace branding strategies, websites, and marketing materials, providing insight into how consumers will be introduced to the Marketplaces and some of the key messages and approaches the Marketplaces will utilize to encourage individuals to enroll. BACKGROUND The ACA seeks to reduce the number of uninsured through two key coverage expansions: the creation of new Health Insurance Marketplaces and an expansion in Medicaid eligibility. The Health Insurance Marketplaces will provide consumers with a choice of qualified health plans, offering similar benefits, so they can select the one that best meets their needs.
