September 10, 2013

"Twenty-two days before the slated opening of Colorado’s new health exchange, the project manager issued yet another red light warning, signaling that data-sharing with Colorado’s Medicaid systems may not work by Oct. 1 and that Connect for Health Colorado managers might have to shift to contingency plans.
On top of troubles meshing with the state’s Medicaid systems, managers at Connect for Health Colorado are contending with IT snafus from the federal government."

On other matters, training continues en masse. More than 1,400 private brokers have signed up for training with the health exchange. Connect for Health is also training “health coverage guides” who will be working with consumers face-to-face at assistance sites around the state.

Colorado will not be able to ascertain subsidy qualification online for the first 30 days of Exchange operation. Instead, the applicant must call a number and an assistant will work with them.
