The Washington Post is reporting that a government analysis shows approximately 15,000 enrollment files from HealthCare.gov never made it to insurers. \u00a0Additionally, and no list of the affected people exists.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Almost 10% of enrollments failed to make it to insurers in the first half of October. \u00a0That number increased to 15%, and then declined \u201csteadily,\u201d in November. \u00a0Earlier this month, enrollments fell to less than 1% as software fixes took hold.<\/p>\n

HHS has provided insurers with massive files of enrollment data to reconcile with their own files, but \u201cwhile insurance plans could plausibly correct inaccurate data, they could not get coverage to a subscriber they did not know existed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exacerbating the situation:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Inadequate Guidelines:\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0The New York Times says insurers believe the government has overstated fixes to the Federal exchange website. \u00a0For example, many problems they reported to a CMS help desk \u201cremained unresolved.\u201d The government’s message to insurers: “do whatever you have to do to maximize enrollment and to provide coverage by Jan. 1 to anyone who wants it,” and “details and work out financial arrangements with the government” can come “later.”<\/li>\n
  • The Exchange:\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0The Wall Street Journal reports that there are many errors in the Federal health insurance exchange’a application system. \u00a0The federal government is now predicting that perhaps one in five applicants were inaccurately assigned to either Medicaid or the private plans or received denials that were wrong. Other people (like children) are just missing from enrollments. \u00a0The Journal also reports that such problems could lead to chaos on Jan. 1, as people start to use insurance at doctor\u2019s offices, in hospitals, and in pharmacies. \u00a0Comments from some insurers and Federal officials say that the most problematic applications are those for complex tax or family situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
