CMS counting on individuals to say when they started insurance enrollment process

Published 2 Min Read

On Tuesday, Obama administration officials said that if consumers were online on March 31 and couldn’t finish their insurance application before the government’s midnight deadline they would be given extra time in April to complete the process. 

However, Wednesday, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services would not say if they had a way to verify when individuals initiated the insurance application process on the federal insurance exchange other than the applicant’s own word.
