Marketplace Renewals: State Efforts to Maximize Enrollment into Affordable Health Plan Options
For 2015, marketplaces' ability to conduct an effective renewal process for current enrollees is constrained by their information technology capacity, the short time period for open enrollment, and limited resources for outreach and consumer assistance.
