2020 Federal Health Insurance Exchange Enrollment Period Final
Weekly Enrollment Snapshot
Final
Snapshot: Nov 1-Dec 21
Approximately 8.3 million
people selected or were automatically re-enrolled in plans using the
HealthCare.gov platform during the 2020 open enrollment period.
These snapshots provide
point-in-time estimates of weekly plan selections, call center activity and
visits to HealthCare.gov or CuidadoDeSalud.gov. The final snapshot reports
new plan selections, active plan renewals and automatic enrollments. It does
not report the number of consumers who paid premiums to effectuate their
enrollment.
As we do each year, CMS
also plans to release a detailed 2020 final enrollment report in March,
including final plan selection data from State-based Exchanges that do not
use the HealthCare.gov platform.
Definitions and details on
the data are included in the glossary.
HealthCare.gov
Platform Snapshot
HealthCare.gov
State-by-State Snapshot
The state-by-state
Snapshot provides cumulative individual market plan selections for the 38
states using the HealthCare.gov platform for the 2020 benefit
year. Cumulative individual plan selections for the states using the
HealthCare.gov platform include:
Glossary
Plan
Selections: The cumulative metric represents the total number of people who
have submitted an application and selected a plan, net of any cancellations
from a consumer or cancellations from an insurer that have occurred to date.
The weekly metric represents the net change in the number of non-cancelled
plan sections over the period covered by the report.
Plan selections include
those consumers who are automatically re-enrolled into a plan.
To have their coverage
effectuated, consumers generally need to pay their first month’s health plan
premium. This release does not report the number of effectuated enrollments.
New
Consumers: A consumer is considered to be a new consumer
if they did not have 2019 Exchange coverage through December 31, 2019 and had
a 2020 plan selection.
Renewing
Consumers: A consumer is considered to be a renewing
consumer if they have 2019 Exchange coverage through December 31, 2019 and
either actively select the same plan or a new plan for 2020.
Exchange: Generally,
this report refers to 38 states that use the HealthCare.gov platform for the
2020 benefit year. The states using the HealthCare.gov platform for the
individual market Exchange are Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
HealthCare.gov
States: The 38 states that use the HealthCare.gov platform for the 2020
benefit year, including the Federally-facilitated Exchange and some
State-based Exchanges.
Consumers
on Applications Submitted: This includes a consumer who is
on a completed application submitted to the Exchange using the HealthCare.gov
platform. If determined eligible for Exchange coverage, a consumer still
needs to pick a health plan (i.e., plan selection) and pay their premium to
get covered (i.e., effectuated enrollment). Because families can submit a
single application, this figure tallies the total number of people on a
submitted application (rather than the total number of submitted
applications).
Call
Center Volume: The total number of calls received by the
call center for the 38 states that use the HealthCare.gov platform for the
2020 benefit year over the time period covered by the snapshot. Calls with
Spanish speaking representatives are not included.
Calls
with Spanish Speaking Representative: The total number of calls
received by the call center for the 38 states that use the HealthCare.gov
platform for the 2020 benefit year over the time period covered by the
snapshot where consumers chose to speak with a Spanish-speaking representative.
These calls are not included within the Call Center Volume metric.
HealthCare.gov Users or CuidadoDeSalud.gov Users: These
user metrics total how many unique users viewed or interacted with HealthCare.gov or CuidadoDeSalud.gov, respectively, over the course of a specific date range. For cumulative
totals, a separate report is run for the entire Open Enrollment period to
minimize users being counted more than once during that longer range of time
and to provide a more accurate estimate of unique users. Depending on an
individual’s browser settings and browsing habits, a visitor may be counted
as a unique user more than once.
Window
Shopping HealthCare.gov Users or CuidadoDeSalud.gov Users: These
user metrics total how many unique users interacted with the window-shopping
tool at HealthCare.gov or CuidadoDeSalud.gov, respectively, over the
course of a specific date range. For cumulative totals, a separate report is
run for the entire Open Enrollment period to minimize users being counted
more than once during that longer range of time and to provide a more
accurate estimate of unique users. Depending on an individual’s browser
settings and browsing habits, a visitor may be counted as a unique user more
than once. Users who window-shopped are also included in the total HealthCare.gov or CuidadoDeSalud.gov user total.
