Manatt’s Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health, was interviewed by Inside Health Policy for an article on state-based exchanges in the insurance marketplace.
The publication stated that state-based marketplaces might start popping up. A couple of benefits noted were broader authority to use the Affordable Care Act’s state innovation waivers and the ability to escape a premium fee that comes with using a federal platform.
Ario noted that Nevada has contracted with GetInsured to get a state-run exchange up and running in 2020, and that New Mexico and Oregon are considering taking on this opportunity as well.
