Transitioning to a State Exchange
On February 1, 2023, Senator Ben Watson introduced Senate Bill 65 granting the Office of Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire (OCI) authority to establish and operate a State-based Exchange (SBE). Upon enactment of the bill, the State intends to transition its marketplace off the federal platform to the Georgia Access Exchange for Open Enrollment 2024.
The Governor submitted a SBE Letter of Intent to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on February 13, 2023. The Commissioner of Insurance submitted a letter outlining the State’s readiness along with a SBE Blueprint Application to CMS on February 14, 2023.
