5 Background COHBE is a public non-profit organization, created in May 2011 by SB11-200 COHBE is governed by a Board of Directors, comprised of representatives from consumer groups, small businesses, insurers, providers and State agencies SB 11-200 also established a joint Legislative Health Benefit Exchange Implementation Review Committee to help direct the work of the Exchange In December, COHBE submitted a request for a Level 1 Establishment grant from the federal government to provide funds for the start-up of the Exchange entity and to fund initial systems and services acquisition COHBE is expected to remain a small organization assisted by a robust team of contractors 5

6 Points of Emphasis 6

7 1.The quality of the user experience to navigate from logging in, through eligibility to enrollment with the minimal number of clicks, screens, look- ups, etc.; the quality of the customer experience through the contact center is important 2.Solution should contain the features, functions and services to support small employers and brokers that serve them as well as services to promote the SHOP Exchange 3.Address the needs of the target demographic who are expected to use the Exchange; this includes large populations of individuals and households who will likely move back and forth across eligibility boundaries requiring changes in enrollment; the needs of the state’s rural population and participating Native Americans must also be addressed in the solution 7

8 4.Sound interoperability between the Exchange systems and the State Medicaid and Division of Insurance systems to manage the expected increase in customers without degrading customer service; verification of MAGI information will be performed by the Exchange and will use the federal data hub 5.Establish and support an operating model that minimizes operational costs in order to ensure the Exchange’s financial viability after 2015 and the desire to have a partnership that will work with COHBE to achieve sustainability 6.Flexibility in the solution to enable evolution of Exchange technology, services and business operations as the market develops and other dynamics play out Points of Emphasis 8

9 7.RFP identifies four distinct service and technology solution components which may be bid separately; the intent is to provide COHBE the latitude to select individual components of a Proposer’s solution 8.Aggressive timeframe to meet State and federal deadlines and present a coherent implementation and deployment plan that meets these commitments 9.Identify and comment on expected implementation and operational risks and present mitigation actions to address these risks 10.Process is intended to provide Proposers some latitude to propose optional solution components, partnering arrangements, etc., want to tap creativity and experience of the vendor community particularly for developing and operating the small group market Points of Emphasis 9
