HPIO releases policy brief on health insurance exchanges
The Health Policy Institute of Ohio (HPIO) is pleased to announce the release of its latest policy brief: Federal rules for establishing health insurance exchanges (pdf, 12 pages).
Health insurance exchanges sit at the cornerstone of federal health reform and are aimed at providing affordable health care coverage to individuals and small businesses. In recent weeks, there has been a great deal of attention given to the proposed rules providing guidance on establishment of exchanges and the reinsurance, risk corridor, and risk adjustment mechanisms related to coverage sold through exchanges.
HPIO’s brief outlines key choices Ohio will have to make on exchanges, what other states are doing, and summarizes the proposed rules on exchanges – highlighting key issues and considerations regarding establishment of an Ohio exchange.
