The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers of Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting you to the National Health Insurance Marketplace Stakeholder Conference Call on Monday, March 18, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. ET.
HHS is deeply committed to public participation as it builds a new Health Insurance Marketplace in several states. Through an ongoing stakeholder consultation process, we have sought input from a wide-range of interested stakeholders, including states, issuers, and consumers in State Partnership Marketplace and Federally-facilitated Marketplace states.
The goal of this national call is to keep stakeholders updated on the operational execution of the Marketplace as well as for CMS to hear directly from individuals and organizations that will be able to utilize the new Marketplace. This process will allow interested parties to understand how the Marketplace will work and when it will be ready.
This national call will kick-off the next phase of our stakeholder engagement to be followed by quarterly calls held by the CMS regional offices throughout 2013. CMS will use the information and feedback provided in the stakeholder consultation process in the development of the Marketplace.
The call will feature CMS senior officialsfollowedby time for Q&A. Speakers are:
· Gary Cohen, Deputy Administrator and Director, Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight;
· Cindy Mann, Deputy Administrator and Director, Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services; and
· Julie Bataille, Director, Office of Communications.
