Health insurance exchanges rely on coordination between various departments within health plans, as well as coordination with state and federal entities, including Social Security, Medicaid and the US Treasury. There’s also the challenge of making all of the information available in real-time, since purchasers expect verification NOW.
Health Insurance Exchange Congress speaker Kevin Yang, Chief Information Officer for the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange recently stated, “We’re working with local health plans to coordinate our IT systems, so consumers will have a seamless experience when purchasing insurance through our exchange. We want to make sure they understand what their product choices are and what benefits they qualify for, streamlining the overall enrollment process.”
Kevin Yang and others at the 2nd Annual Health Insurance Exchange Congress, taking place on November 13 – 14 in Chicago.
