The New England States Collaborative For Insurance Exchange Systems: Supporting Massachusetts and National Health Reform Through Technology Innovation

Abstract

Project Goal: To create Health Insurance Exchange (HIX) Information Technology components in Massachusetts that are consumer-focused, cost-effective, reusable, and sustainable and that can be leveraged by New England and other states to operate Health Insurance Exchanges. The NESCIES project approach will be to create and build a flexible HIX Information Technology framework in Massachusetts designed to connect consumers, small businesses, and health plans that can be tailored to the needs of the New England states and beyond.Achieving this goal will require the creation of solutions that are component based, adaptable, and based on the standards required by the ACA.
