The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) set up HealthCare.gov to provide Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) exchange services in states that are unwilling or unable to provide the services themselves.
The Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (CCIIO), part of the HHS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), runs HealthCare.gov.
Four of the newcomers appear to be regional firms. One, Benefitstore, is a unit of Benefitfocus, a major health insurance technology services company.
