Summarizing the HIX/Medicaid Expansion Project:

ACA requires everyone under age 65, without Medicare, to have health insurance by 1/1/14, and every state to have an HIX in operation by 10/1/13 for open enrollment

ACA expands Medicaid to 133% FPL & adds childless adults While awaiting a decision from the US Supreme Court, Governor

Brewer wants to continue planning the HIX & Medicaid Expansion. Arizona plans to build its own HIX, leveraging its existing

infrastructure for eligibility and enrollment as the core of the HIX & Medicaid Expansion system, using the Health-e-Arizona system

Arizona plans to leverage the DOI SERFF system for plan management, including certification of QHPs

Arizona plans to purchase technology and services that cannot be leveraged easily from its current infrastructure
