HealthPlan Services Go-To-Exchange Platform Exceeds Exchange Enrollment Expectations
TAMPA, Fla. – May 5, 2014 – HealthPlan ServicesSM (HPS), the nation’s leading technology, sales, retention and administrative services provider for the insurance and managed care markets, announced today its clients’ successful enrollment of 2 million members during the inaugural Health Insurance Exchange open enrollment period. Leveraging its Go-To-Exchange SM platform, a comprehensive suite of services designed to streamline carrier participation in insurance marketplaces, HPS supported its insurance carrier clients with enrolling approximately 20% of the 8 million total members reported by CMS who signed up and paid for coverage via a state or federal exchange.
“We are thrilled to be able to help facilitate the number of new members our clients gained during this first public exchange open enrollment period. It is a significant milestone for our clients and HPS,” said HPS President and CEO Jeff Bak, noting that HPS also experienced significant growth in premiums for its private exchange clients. “We are now focused on the next stage, rolling out strategic programs to engage, support and retain these new members while enhancing our platform and tools to ensure the next open enrollment period is even better than the first.”
Like its carrier partners, HPS has experienced a demand for Health Insurance Exchange services that far exceeded expectations. To keep pace with demand for its Go-To-Exchange platform, which was among the first to complete a fully effectuated individual enrolled into a Qualified Health Plan on a Federally Facilitated Marketplace website, HPS underwent a significant operational expansion, enhancing its technical infrastructure and adding a new state-of-the-art facility to accommodate the increase in staff.
“We are prepared to not only support the new members who have already enrolled with our carrier partners, but also the additional individuals who will enroll in November’s Open Enrollment for 2015 and take advantage of the next opportunity to secure coverage for 2015,” said Bak. “We remain committed to providing our clients with the innovative services and high-quality customer support they need to succeed in this new era of healthcare.”
