Family-Friendly Enrollment

Health Reform Enrollment December 2012 Update (pdf)

As states continue to look for new ways to meet the challenge of enrolling millions of people into health insurance in 2014, leaders in the development of new mobile technologies are exploring new ways to enroll families using mobile tools – including smartphones, iPads, and other tablets.These new technologies could help make the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) vision of a “first-class” consumer experience into a reality. Social Interest Solutions (SIS) is one of those leaders, having developed a mobile application of its Web-based enrollment tool, One-e-App. Pilot testing of this tool demonstrates its potential to make enrollment in health insurance and other programs available at the touch of a fingertip – whenever and wherever it is most convenient for families.

The federal government has extended the deadline for states to submit the final Exchange Blueprint (Blueprint). This extension (and any future extensions) provides advocates and other stakeholders with another opportunity to help shape their state’s Exchange. The Blueprint will outline Exchange activities, such as premium tax credit and cost sharing reduction determinations, exemptions, risk adjustment programs, reinsurance programs, plan management, CHIP and Medicaid eligibility assessments and consumer assistance.
