"In addition, 60 percent of our 194,000 ConnectorCare members, more than 115,000 people, are now paying lower monthly premiums than before, as coverage that already featured very low premiums was made even more affordable due to the American Rescue Plan. That is an increase of about 60 percent in just two months," he said. "Since April, our enrollments in plans that include federal tax credit help has increased by 11,000 people.
Gutierrez said people covered through the Connector have benefitted from provisions in the federal legislation known as the American Rescue Plan, including first-time subsidy eligibility for people earning more than 400 percent of the federal poverty level. 1, 2020 is ongoing, thanks to pandemic-related extensions, and Massachusetts residents can sign up for health insurance through the Connector until July 23, 2021. The Massachusetts Health Connector will be the only place where residents of the Commonwealth can access new federal. You can use this Customer Service portal to help consumers apply, shop for, and enroll in coverage available in Massachusetts. The open enrollment period that began on Nov. The Massachusetts Health Connector is the state's marketplace for health and dental insurance. Thursday's vote drops those limits to $2,750 and $5,500 respectively. The standards include a cap on annual deductibles, and in March the Connector approved 2022 limits of $2,850 for an individual medical deductible and $5,700 for a family medical deductible. The coverage standards govern plans that most Massachusetts residents are required to obtain to comply with the state's health insurance law or risk facing tax penalties. The board also approved a revision that will lower individual and family deductible limits under the minimum creditable coverage standards, responding to a change in the federal metric the Connector uses to index those caps. The Connector has worked with Accenture before, contracting with the company last fall to oversee and supplement customer service staff when call center vendor Faneuil ran into what Gutierrez described as "issues across the board" - including absenteeism and problems with attrition, recruitment and training - that led to dropped calls, consumer dissatisfaction and longer waits at a time when the pandemic and associated unemployment spikes were driving interest in health insurance options.Ī presentation Gutierrez delivered to the board said the Connector "is drawn to Accenture's proposal in no small part due to their familiarity with the Health Connector's contact center and back office needs, based on the support services it provided in the fall of 2020, which included an assessment, additional staff trained to serve as customer service agents, and management advising, some of which continues through to today." Thank you to our sponsor, Comcast as well as our national sponsors, RBC, Humana and Aprio Firm Alliance.The Connector and Accenture are negotiating the basis for a longer-term contract as well, Gutierrez said.
