Here are five notes:
1.HealthCare.gov serves 38 states.
2. Those states with their own sites may have different timetables for when consumers can view their premiums.
3. Entering their third year of availability, online health insurance markets offer consumers taxpayer-subsidized private coverage. This helps cut the share of Americans who are uninsured to nearly 9 percent.
4. Despite the reduction in the uninsured population, Americans remain divided about the effectiveness of the Affordable Care Act.
5. Consumers must enroll in HealthCare.gov by Dec. 15 for coverage starting Jan. 1.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
