State-based Marketplaces (SBMs): The Marketplaces in the 17 states and the District of Columbia that operate their own eligibility and enrollment platforms. The 19 SBMs for 2024 include: California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington. New York QHP data was not available at the time of this report. Generally, the data metric definitions provided here are applicable to the SBM metrics, with some exceptions. Please contact the SBMs for additional information on their metrics.
Cumulative Plan Selections: The cumulative metric represents the total number of people who have submitted an application and selected a plan, net of any cancellations from a consumer or cancellations from an insurer that have occurred from November 1, 2023, through the end of the reporting period. To have their coverage effectuated, consumers generally need to pay their first month’s health plan premium. This release does not report the number of effectuated enrollments.
New Consumers (HealthCare.gov Marketplace): Consumers are considered new if they did not have 2023 Marketplace coverage through the federal platform through December 31, 2023, and made a 2024 plan selection through the federal platform.
New Consumers (SBMs): Consumers are considered new if they did not have 2023 Marketplace coverage in the SBM that uses its own platform where they made a 2024 plan selection through the SBM.
Returning Consumers (HealthCare.gov Marketplace): Consumers are considered returning if they have 2023 Marketplace coverage through the federal platform through December 31, 2023, and either actively select the same plan or a new plan for 2024. The returning consumers count does not currently include consumers who have been automatically re-enrolled in their current plan for 2024 coverage.
Returning Consumers (SBMs): Consumers are considered returning if they have 2023 Marketplace coverage through December 31, 2023, in the same SBM where they actively select the same plan or a new plan for 2024. The returning consumers count does not currently include consumers who have been automatically re-enrolled in their 2023 plan or an alternate suggested plan for 2024 coverage. SBMs have reported the following data on plan selections for auto re-enrolled consumers.
