Description

Beginning October 1, American citizens who do not have health insurance will be eligible to purchase standardized insurance coverage using the new health insurance marketplaces, formally referred to as health insurance exchanges (HIX). This offering will be administered either by their state, federal government, or a combination of both. CMS has reported that 64 different types of projects supporting the establishment of HIX and the data hub have been funded through March of 2013. The following market insight, part 2 in our current series on this topic, discusses State readiness in response to creation of the marketplaces, including a US mapping presentation of where the different States are in their approach as of 9.17.2013.
