Make it Easier for Consumers to Find Quality Coverage
No two consumers' buying habits are the same, so the more ways there are to find the health insurance coverage they're mandated to obtain under the Affordable Care Act, the more likely they are to enroll.
Through functionality similar to state health insurance exchanges, WBEs can allow consumers to check their eligibility for Medicaid, CHIP and federal subsidies for the purchase of qualified health plans (QHPs) while streamlining the enrollment process. WBEs may also provide consumers with personal assistance from experienced, licensed agents to help them find the best QHP for their individual needs.
Consumers eligible for a qualified health plan can be presented the same plan choices, costs and online applications as if they were shopping on a state exchange. Those qualified for Medicaid or CHIP can be directed to the appropriate website to enroll.
