HHS launches Health Insurance Marketplace educational tools 

The Obama administration today kicked off the Health Insurance
Marketplace education effort with a new, consumer-focused HealthCare.gov

consumer call center to help Americans prepare for open enrollment and
ultimately sign up for private health insurance. The new tools will help
Americans understand their choices and select the coverage that best
suits their needs when open enrollment in the new Health Insurance
Marketplace begins October 1.

"The new website and toll-free number have a simple mission: to make
sure every American who needs health coverage has the information they
need to make choices that are right for themselves and their families-or
their businesses," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius. 

"The re-launched Healthcare.gov and new call center will help consumers
prepare for the new coverage opportunities coming later this year," said
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Marilyn Tavenner.
"In October, HealthCare.gov will be the online destination for consumers
to compare and enroll in affordable, qualified health plans." 

HealthCare.gov is the destination for the Health Insurance Marketplace.
Americans may now access new educational information and learn what they
can do to begin to get ready for open enrollment this fall. The website
will add functionality over the summer so that, by October, consumers
will be able to create accounts, complete an online application, and
shop for qualified health plans. For Spanish speaking consumers,

match HealthCare.gov's new consumer focus. 

Key features of the website, based on consumer research and online
commercial best practices include integration of social media, sharable
content, and engagement destinations for consumers to get more
information. The site will also launch with web chat functionality to
support additional consumer inquiries. 

The website is built with a responsive design so that consumers may
access it from their desktops, smart-phones, and other mobile devices.
In addition, the website is available via an application interface at

Between now and the start of open enrollment, the Marketplace call
center will provide educational information and, beginning Oct. 1, 2013,
will assist consumers with application completion and plan selection. In
addition to English and Spanish, the call center provides assistance in
more than 150 languages through an interpretation and translation
service. Customer service representatives are available for assistance
via a toll-free number at 1-800-318-2596 and hearing impaired callers
using TTY/TDD technology can dial 1-855-889-4325 for assistance.

HealthCare.gov. 

HHS is on target for open enrollment in the Marketplace, which begins
Oct. 1, 2013, and other key milestones
