The Washington State Health Exchange is exploring healthcare coverage options for Washington residents who do not currently qualify for state/federal programs. The Exchange is seeking a federal “1332 waiver” which, if approved, would provide access to federally non-subsidized health and dental coverage to all Washington residents starting in plan year 2024.
The Exchange says it would like feedback from the public regarding their current plan between now and May 2. You can provide comments via the following methods:
- Attend a virtual public comment meeting (held via Teams):
- April 12, 2022 (5 to 6:30 p.m. PT) Register to attend
- April 13, 2022 (Noon to 1:30 p.m. PT) Register to attend
- Email WA1332@wahbexchange.org
- Please include “Public Comment” in the subject line of your email.
