Health Insurance Marketplace Stakeholder Engagement Open Door Forum

CMS is kicking off the next phase of our stakeholder engagement on the new Health Insurance Marketplace with an open, national conference call on Monday, March 18, 2013, to be followed by quarterly calls throughout 2013 in each state with a Federally-facilitated or State Partnership Marketplace. Individuals and organizations that will interact with and utilize the Marketplace are encouraged to join this call. We will provide an update on the implementation of the Marketplace and listen to feedback as we continue to develop and refine the Marketplace.
