Project Narrative. A. Demonstration of Past Progress in Exchange Planning Core Areas Background Research: Washington State currently has rich information on state-wide coverage and individual demographics. Federal exchange planning grants funds were needed to develop a Market Impact Analysis report on three key issues that could alter the structure of Washington State’s health insurance markets: merging the individual and small group risk pools, redefining the small group market as 1-100 employees, or selecting the Federal Basic Health program. Additionally, the Office of Financial Management that conducts the Washington State Population Survey analyzed the 2010 survey by populations likely to go into the exchange and Medicaid to identify their insurance status, health status, and income levels. They are using that information for further analysis of other data sources.
