Designing rules to guide consumer choice of insurance plans on health exchanges
The purpose of this project is to provide the health exchanges with specifications for decision support software and the underlying research evidence to help consumers select a health plan. The complexities of insurance products, four levels of benefit design, potentially large numbers of product offerings, subsidy calculations, and differences in eligibility status within a family are among the many daunting aspects of choosing a plan in the exchanges. This project will focus on research that addresses these challenges to help people choose a health plan that meets their needs. Deliverables will be: (1) requirements for information technology vendors, essentially the business rules for the plan choice software; (2) requirements for information on health plans, including data elements that provider plans must submit; and (3) research findings to help consumers choose a plan, essentially the findings on decision supports to guide planning for information services and support for the exchanges.
