| Introduction |
The Arizona Department of Insurance is supporting the Governor’s Office in planning a State-run Health Insurance Exchange (AZ-HIX) which is a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The AZ-HIX will provide a transparent, centralized marketplace for the uninsured, small employers and individuals to enroll in private health insurance or public health benefits.

Application Requirements for Qualified Health Plan (QHP) Certification
Using requirements set forth by federal regulations, the State must certify which health insurance plans meet the criteria to offer insurance coverage through the AZ-HIX. Health insurers will apply to the Arizona Department of Insurance for “Qualified Health Plans” (QHP) status. These are the basic QHP requirements. |
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) Health Insurance Exchange
Under a Establishment Level One federal grant, the Governor’s Office plan, design and develop the Arizona Health Insurance Exchange (AZ-HIX). The AZ-HIX will use these funds to build upon the State’s existing IT platform for the online eligibility and enrollment system and augment them with solutions that provide capability that is not currently part of the State’s IT assets. The goal is to leverage the current IT assets and buy key component solutions and services to round out the State’s already robust capabilities.
