Countdown to 2014 Technology and the Vision for Paperless, Simplified Eligibility and Enrollment under the Affordable Care Act Tricia Brooks National Covering Kids and Families Webinar December 15, 2011

The Vision of the ACA Robust website Electronic application with electronic signature Verification through electronic data sources Real or near-real time eligibility decision

Woe is the State’s Eligibility System Sick of hearing what the state can’t do because of its aging systems? State budgets got you feeling under the weather – no money to upgrade systems

Help Has Arrived Unprecedented federal funding opportunity 90% system development 75% system operating costs Expires at end of 2015

Expedited IT Funding Approval • Waiver of certain cost-allocation rules in integrated systems (e.g. SNAP) • Don’t have to allocate costs for functions/process needed for Medicaid (even if other programs benefit) • Only the incremental cost of integrating other programs are charged to them • Expedited process for funding approval • Sharing system resources across states

Strings Attached • Customers should experience a high level of service, support and ease of use • Flexible, modular systems to promote ease of maintenance, sharing and reuse • Support accurate, timely eligibility and effective communications • Produce performance data • Ensure seamless coordination with the Exchange
