Editor's Notes
The new healthcare.gov is consumer-focused, meaning that the new portal is something you can easily navigate from any desktop computer, smartphone, or other mobile device. It is educational in nature, providing information on the new marketplaces, preexisting conditions, videos, and resources to prepare for open enrollment. It also has a function that allows you to scroll over a word for clarification on its meaning. Don’t know what a premium or deductible is? Just scroll over to learn more. And while you can’t apply for insurance just yet, by October consumers will be able to create accounts, complete an online application, and shop for qualified health plans.
If you think the website looks good, just wait—HHS has told us to expect customer service standards that are just as strong. They hope to reach callers within two minutes of dialing, and for Latinos who prefer service in Spanish, there will be an accessible customer service line and chat features. In fact, the new portal will have a toll-free number with assistance available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in 150 languages. The bottom of the homepage also provides links in 13 languages that direct users to the call center should questions arise. HHS is simultaneously relaunching www.cuidadodesalud.gov, a Spanish-language site, to match the new consumer face of www.healthcare.gov.

A new 800 number you can call to get your Marketplace questions answered by a customer service representative, available 24/7: 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325)
