Purpose of request
| WAHBE will use the APCD to further our understanding of the individual market and its claims experience and how the Exchange market fits into the larger market. The individual market has seen a great number of changes and uncertainty in recent years. As the platform for individual market coverage in Washington, WAHBE looks to further policies that increase stability, affordability, and options within the market. The APCD will allow WAHBE to use data to model policies and how these policies affect our population. The purpose of WAHBE’s project fits within the WA APCD goals outlined in state law as this will enable the Exchange to benchmark its performance against the market and allow the Exchange to utilize best practices that best fit our population. Furthermore, it will enable the Exchange to promote competition based on quality and cost among carriers. |
