The Department of Health and Human Services has rolled out an enhanced version of a public website, mandated under the Accountable Care Act, to aid small businesses and consumers in comparing and purchasing health care coverage.
The website is a precursor to state insurance exchanges mandated to be operational by 2014. HHS initially launched the site in the summer of 2010 with spotty information from insurers in five categories: services covered, physician locator, drug benefits, price estimates and plan contact information.
