Earlier this week, the Trump Administration announced plans to remove more than 750,000 Americans from health insurance plans purchased through healthcare.gov, a marketplace established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The administration alleges that the removed individuals were fraudulently enrolled in the program.
In the District of Columbia, the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority (DCHBX) is responsible for the District’s Affordable Care Act marketplace. Residents can enroll via DC Health Link.
“DC Health Link is not the federal marketplace,” Executive Director of DCHBX, Mila Kofman said.
“DC Health Link was locally established and is locally managed. Since October 1, 2013, when we opened for business, we’ve had strong fraud prevention, fraud detection, and fraud mitigation to protect our customers against unscrupulous entities. We remain committed to staying vigilant to protect residents with health insurance on DC Health Link,” Kofman said.
