ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland will begin reaching out this week to tens of thousands of residents who enrolled in health plans under the state’s troubled health care exchange who need to enroll again in November as Maryland transitions to a system revamped with technology from Connecticut.
Carolyn Quattrocki, the director of Maryland’s health exchange, told a panel of lawmakers Tuesday that the state is beginning an intensive outreach plan with email and letters to make sure people understand the benefit of re-enrolling when the second open enrollment period begins.
She says there are two main reasons. One, there are new plans and new rates that could offer people better deals. Two, people who receive a subsidy for their insurance need to get a new determination about the subsidy they are qualified to receive.
