Currently, HHS has conditionally approved the health insurance exchanges of 20 states and the District of Columbia, either for complete state-run operation or through a state-federal partnership.
Health insurances, which are a staple provision of the 2010 healthcare reform law, will go live in 2014. They will serve as a marketplace for consumers to buy health insurance for competitive prices.
Of today’s approvals, Arkansas was approved for a state-federal partnership exchange, while the remaining seven will move forward with their own state-run exchanges. Delaware is the only other state thus far to receive approval for the state-federal partnership.
HHS also released more guidance on the state-federal partnership exchanges. Remaining states have until Feb. 15 to apply for that hybrid model.
