A seamless transition to a state-based marketplace
Many states are considering running their own health insurance marketplace. As a leading provider of eligibility and enrollment services across the nation, Maximus can help you make that successful transition.
Proven solutions to meet your needs
Since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, many states are realizing the advantages of a state-based marketplace (SBM). We've implemented and operated the systems and processes for many SBMs, bringing best practices to drive better outcomes and ultimately reduce the number of the uninsured.

We can help you achieve the benefits of an SBM
There are compelling reasons for operating your own SBM. Get the design flexibility to support state-specific policy, program, and fiscal goals. Extend your Open Enrollment Periods. Design a customer service experience that meets the needs of your residents, including integrated customer service with other state-administered health programs or state financial assistance. Tailor your outreach and education to consumers. Make program and fiscal decisions about your in-person assistor program and other marketplace features that are most important to your state.
