GetInsured Powers Dramatic Growth in Health Coverage
GetInsured, a premier provider of state-based health insurance exchange technology and consumer assistance, is delighted to report significant success during the latest open enrollment period. Millions of Americans have taken advantage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with enrollment via state-based exchanges hitting unprecedented levels. In total, more than 24 million individuals obtained ACA coverage this year, with 29% of enrollments originating from state-based exchanges. This remarkable achievement is largely attributed to the enhanced premium tax credits that have made insurance more accessible.
The Impact of State-Based Health Exchanges
Chini Krishnan, the Founder and CEO of GetInsured, expresses pride in the company's collaboration with various states to address specific community needs. For instance, in Georgia, GetInsured enhanced its platform, introducing the Enhanced Direct Enrollment (EDE) feature and implementing an Interactive Virtual Agent (IVA) for round-the-clock support. These innovations enable individuals to navigate the enrollment process with greater ease and support.
