1 Comparing Health Benefit Exchange Models: Massachusetts, California and Maryland Jay Himmelstein MD, MPH, Director, New England Collaborative for Insurance Exchange Systems Greg Franklin, Assistant Secretary of Health Information Technology, California Technology Agency Pradeep Goel, Chief Executive Officer, Consumer Health Technologies
2 Panel Overview and Massachusetts Model Jay Himmelstein MD, MPH, Director New England Collaborative for Insurance Exchange Systems University of Massachusetts Medical School
3 Context: t Central Role of Health Benefit Exchanges (HIX) in Health Care Reform Health Benefit Exchanges (also known as Health Insurance Exchanges or HIX) are the key mechanism for implementation of coverage expansions and health insurance reforms adopted in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) HIX have significant responsibilities in both the private and public markets, including determination of eligibility for Medicaid and tax subsidies, enrollment in qualified health plans, risk adjustment and re-insurance. The ACA provides States with significant flexibility in the design and operation of their Exchange to best meet the unique needs of their citizens and their market place
4 HIX: Flexible Options for States State-based State Federally- Exchange Partnership facilitated Model Exchange States may use Federal States operate: States may run: Services for: Plan Management Premium tax credit and/or determinations Consumer assistance Exemptions Risk Adjustment Reinsurance States may also run: Reinsurance Medicaid & CHIP eligibility determinations Reinsurance Medicaid & CHIP eligibility determinations 4
5 Tight Deadlines for Exchange Operations! Regulations implementing the Affordable Care Act require HHS to approve or conditionally approve Statebased Exchanges no later than January 1, 2013, for operation in Even if a State-based Exchange cannot be completed by October 2013, options for temporarily leveraging the FFE exist through State Partnership model The development lifecycle for updating and/or building Information Systems, including procurement, can be prolonged. Time is not our friend!
6 Key Challenge: Integration of HIX and Medicaid Eligibility and Enrollment Exchanges are required to determine eligibility for and coordinate enrollment e in Medicaid, d, CHIP, and state health subsidy programs using: (ACA 1413) A single, streamlined eligibility form for all programs A secure, electronic interface Multiple access points: internet, mail, phone, in person See Guidance for Exchange and Medicaid Information Technology (IT) Systems, Version 2.0 May
7 CCIIO Funded Early Innovator (EI) Cooperative Agreement Program EI states are charged with designing and implementing the information technology (IT) infrastructure needed to operate HIXs and to develop reusable and transferable technology components. The Massachusetts Early Innovator Grant (a.k.a. The New England Collaborative for Insurance Exchange Systems or NESCIES) builds upon the successful Massachusetts health reforms of 2006 which expanded the MassHealth program and established Health Connector Authority (also known as the Commonwealth Connector Authority or CCA). 7

15 Visions for California s Health Benefit Exchange Pi Price Leader Change Agent The Exchange drives lower premiums; it is a cost-focused store and offers the most competitively priced health plans. The Exchange is catalyst of finance and delivery reform; establishing incentives to encourage innovation and improvement in the cost, quality, and efficiency in health care delivery. Service Center The Exchange is a consumer destination; it is a consumer-friendly, one-stop shop with broad choices on plan design, accessible information, and strong customer service. Public Partner The Exchange is closely aligned with Medi-Cal and Healthy Families partnering to adopt an array of policies that align to improve the health status and health care outcomes of low-income, high-need individuals.

25 Key Success Factors Stakeholder participation is critical Engage Carriers, consumers, employers and state agencies early Define interface requirements at the front end Data inputs by workflow spend the time to identify these upfront Create a Data Hierarchy HIX is a data aggregation problem First create a data hierarchy then system interfaces Getting to data is half the problem

27 Integration ti Approach COTS model works if there is a strong integrator Align project planning with SDLC They cannot be built in isolation Non functional requirements are hard to define Engage the vendor to achieve specifics Timelines are tight Parallelize requirements, design & development (sprints) Stakeholder participation in acceptance
