Kathleen Sebelius is confident both the state and federal public exchanges have systems in place to verify whether applicants are eligible.
Health and Human Services Sebelius certified the systems the exchanges are using to screen applicants for the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act health insurance tax credit.
She also certified the systems in place to screen applicants for the “cost-sharing” subsidies meant to help low income users of private “qualified health plan” coverage handle co-payments, coinsurance and deductibles.
Sebelius submitted the certification reports Dec. 31, in compliance with a provision of an appropriations act passed in the fall.
