Health Insurance Exchange Plan Management (HIX)

As stated in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Section 1321(c)(1)(B), beginning January 1, 2014, states must provide consumers who do not have employer-provided insurance the ability to purchase insurance through an Affordable Insurance Exchange.

Please check back frequently for updates regarding SERFF’s role in the Plan Management component of Affordable Insurance Exchanges.

Project Overview

In the summer of 2011, we began considering the use of SERFF for the health insurance exchanges, having been prompted by state requests. The exchange responsibilities stretch across a number of state agencies and, in many cases, a separate entity has been created to establish the state exchange. Regardless, we continued to hear from states that wanted to preserve their current workflow which includes SERFF so that they could sustain efforts to efficiently and effectively exercise their authority and responsibility to regulate health insurance. In November 2011, we held our first forum adjacent to the NAIC Fall National Meeting. It was clear that the insurance departments intended to leverage SERFF where possible and that many of them were interested in enhancing SERFF to assist with Plan Management components in the exchange. While this is the primary objective there are other goals for the project including: streamlining the submission process for insurers, supporting integration between exchange systems, providing states with the flexibility they need to handle plan management responsibilities in their state, and minimizing duplicative data entry where possible. Below you will find links to a variety of materials related to this project, including the current timeline.

So the system to do the Obamacare Data Entry for the exchanges.. is literally called SERFF (System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing)
It wasn't created by Obamacare, and was a voluntary participation service run by NAICs

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is the U.S. standard-setting and regulatory support organization created and governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer review, and coordinate their regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally. NAIC members, together with the central resources of the NAIC, form the national system of state-based insurance regulation in the U.S.

OUR MEMBERS
NAIC members are the elected or appointed state government officials who along with their departments and staff, regulate the conduct of insurance companies and agents in their respective state or territory.

The Northern Chapters of KMA, ESAD, FOAD & BIH associations stand in absolute opposition to any governmental entity directly or indirectly and any third-party asshat from housing any personal information for its members...violations will be dealt with harshly, viciously, and using all manner of extremely violent and inherently righteous acts. Liberty is not free people, and resistance to tyranny is not optional, it is mandatory...if you still value freedom.
