Maryland and the Affordable Care Act
The State of Maryland plays a vital role in ensuring that the Affordable Care Act is implemented in accordance with the laid down provisions. Starting October 1, 2013, the state implemented the Connector Program via the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange (MHBE, 2013). This launch is in accordance with Maryland law and consistent with the provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Connector Program seeks to provide the target populations in the state with enrollment, eligibility and in-person education assistance. The 2012 Maryland Health Benefit Exchange Act launched programs aimed at serving both the SHOP (Small Business Health Insurance Options Program) and individual exchanges (MHBE, 2013).
This new plan for Maryland will impact the state’s economy in a significant manner. According to Governor Martin O’Malley, the new plan will help to stimulate job creation and propel the state’s economic growth, which will subsequently strengthen the middleclass (O’Malley, 2013). Furthermore, successful implementation of the Connector Program will aid to improve health outcomes among Maryland residents, which will reduce health costs in the long-term and boost the state’s economic development.
Maryland residents who were previously uninsured will benefit tremendously from the ACA. It will enable them to purchased health insurance at reasonable prizes. According to MHBE, approximately 250,000 residents in Maryland will benefit from new insurance cover because of expansion of Medicaid eligibility and creation of subsidized health insurance packages offered via Maryland Health Connection (MHC) (MHBE, 2013). Maryland Health Connection works in close proximity with insurance providers, advocates, insurance carriers and assisters to build a strong infrastructure that supports the diverse marketplace while ensuring that the previously uninsured enroll in affordable and quality plans.
Residents who do not qualify for the subsidies and tax credits can still purchase an insurance plan through MHC. The Affordable Care Act demands that individuals above eighteen years of age must have health insurance coverage beginning 2014, failure to which they may face legal action and pay fines. According to MHBE (2013), the core benefits offered by all health plans include emergency care, doctor visits, maternity care, hospitalization, substance abuse treatment, pediatric care, mental health care, medical tests and prescriptions among others. Before deciding to enroll, residents will be able to see their premiums, out-of-pocket costs and deductibles for the plans that they aspire to enroll in. The online marketplace.
The Colorado Health Benefit Exchange (COHBE) requests funding to complete implementation activities to open the state's new health insurance exchange in October 2013. COHBE has conducted extensive research on the state's insurance market and potential consumers to inform exchange planning. This includes analyzing data on the uninsured, individuals who purchase insurance directly, and small businesses. COHBE will use the funding to launch the initial technology system for the exchange, enhance functionality after launch, evaluate performance, and ensure long-term sustainability.
This slideshow presents best practices, lessons learned, and policy recommendations around covering Georgia's uninsured. It is based on a review of the open enrollment period for the Health Insurance Marketplace that ran from fall 2014 to winter 2015 and includes findings from interviews with enrollment assisters and other community partners.
Outreach & Recruitment Guide for One-Stops and Community OrgsAmy Rist
As Project Director representing a healthcare employer for an innovative regional partnership program, I developed this comprehensive recruitment strategy that helped us draw from a diverse, untapped population when recruiting for our sector program. Leading the development process along with our local One Stop Career Center (OSCC) and community-based organization(CBO) partners, the development of this final strategy helped to create a process not just for this grant program but for all industry job training program recruitment processes going forward.
White Paper - Building Your ACO and Healthcare IT’s RoleNextGen Healthcare
The tools needed to capture, organize, and share healthcare data are truly evolving at the speed of light. Patient Centered Medical Homes play a vital role in the path toward accountable care and technology, staff, and workflow transformation are necessary to achieve PCMH recognition. This transformation allows healthcare providers to deliver higher quality coordinated care by streamlining and rationalizing the patient experience.
The document discusses the roles of navigators and producers in health insurance exchanges and identifies key issues regarding how they will interact. Navigators are intended to help educate consumers and facilitate enrollment under the Affordable Care Act, while producers currently sell insurance on behalf of issuers and will likely play an important role in exchange success. The document outlines several important issues for states to consider regarding oversight, licensing, accountability, and defining the scope of navigator responsibilities.
The document provides an overview of the Affordable Care Act and the roles of health insurance producers and navigators. It discusses:
- New terminology introduced by the ACA, such as Marketplace, qualified health plans, and medical loss ratio.
- Utah opted to have a state-based Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Exchange called Avenue H, while using a Federally-facilitated Marketplace for individuals.
- Producers must be licensed, appointed with insurers, and complete training to assist consumers on the SHOP Exchange and individual Marketplace. Navigators funded by grants must be licensed and complete training to provide consumer assistance on the Marketplace.
1. Beginning in 2014, the Affordable Care Act expands Medicaid eligibility and requires states to set up health insurance exchanges to provide subsidized coverage. This large expansion aims to significantly reduce the number of uninsured, including many who have mental health or substance abuse issues.
2. States will receive 100% federal funding from 2014-2016 to support expanding Medicaid eligibility and establishing enrollment systems. They are urged to simplify enrollment processes using online applications and data from other programs to maximize participation in the new coverage options.
3. Community organizations can help with outreach and on-site enrollment assistance, especially for those unfamiliar with public programs. States are encouraged to consider streamlined "Express Lane" eligibility models used successfully in CHIP
The document discusses California's current system for assessing eligibility and needs for home- and community-based services (HCBS) programs, and the development of a Universal Assessment Tool (UAT). Currently, clients receiving services from multiple HCBS programs undergo separate assessments that collect duplicative information. The legislature aims to improve coordination and efficiency through a UAT that would provide single, comprehensive assessments across HCBS programs. A pilot program will test the UAT in some counties to address implementation issues before potential statewide adoption.
This document summarizes a presentation about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and Health Insurance Marketplaces. It describes how the Marketplaces were established in each state, the requirements for qualified health plans offered through the Marketplaces, and how individuals can enroll. It highlights implications for underserved populations, noting that tax credits will make coverage affordable for many uninsured Americans and that navigators will help enroll vulnerable groups.
The FMBHP is a collaboration among frontier/rural healthcare communities; Mineral Community Hospital’s Interdisciplinary Medical Education Center; iVantage, an industry leader providing comprehensive hospital evaluation tools; Mayo Clinic’s Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN); and the Appalachian Osteopathic Postgraduate Training Institute Consortium (A-OPTIC). The FMBHP will partner with CMS, IHS, Veteran Administration and other private insurers to develop a seamless and sustainable model of patient-centered and community-based healthcare that produces better outcomes cost-effectively.
The Colorado Health Benefit Exchange is applying for a cooperative agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a state-operated health insurance exchange. Colorado has already conducted research on its uninsured population and insurance market and engaged stakeholders. If funded, Colorado will refine its exchange vision and goals, secure staff and experts, develop a 3-year business plan, and begin establishing IT systems to receive certification by 2013 and be self-sustaining by 2015.

Louisiana Health Cooperative (LAHC) overviewJim Pittman
On September 28, 2012, Louisiana Health Cooperative (LAHC) was selected by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to receive loans to create and operate a Consumer Oriented and Operated Plan, or “CO-OP”. Since that time, LAHC officials have been working with the Louisiana Department of Insurance to obtain approval to operate as an insurer statewide with open enrollment beginning on October 1, 2013 and coverage starting on January 1, 2014. Once operational, LAHC will intensely pursue those individuals and small employers (2-50 employees) who want health insurance coverage, but are not eligible for public assistance in other forms.
Based in Louisiana, LAHC is sponsored by a coalition of health care providers and business leaders who plan to improve health outcomes by providing better access to high quality care at an affordable price. LAHC’s mission is to promote community health and well-being by engaging the members and providers it serves in the valued delivery of high quality, integrated health care services.
CO-OPs, like LAHC, are non-profit, member-owned and member-governed health insurance companies with a focus on developing programs intended to improve the quality of health care delivered to members

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
