Exchanges in Oregon, Nevada and Maryland will open on time, but with some missing certain website features, including Spanish-language alternatives and tax credit calculations, reports The New York Times. In Colorado, customers will have to call a customer service center to finalize the enrollment process begun online, according to CNN. And a high error rate during testing in the Washington, D.C., exchange means Medicaid eligibility and subsidy calculations will not be ready when the exchange opens.
In a Reuters report, an HHS spokesperson said the glitches do not mean the exchanges will not open on time: “There will be a marketplace open in every state and D.C. on October 1, where families can comparison shop for quality, affordable health coverage.”
