Summary

Facilitated enrollment offers a potential solution to some administrative burdens and choice frictions that may produce incomplete take-up of marketplace coverage. Because Covered California, California's ACA individual marketplace, and Medi-Cal, California's Medicaid program, share an eligibility system, Covered California has the ability to identify individuals who are eligible for marketplace coverage upon losing Medicaid eligibility.

This evaluation will compare the effectiveness of facilitated enrollment strategies, including personalized plan pre-selection and personalized quotes of net premiums, to other enhanced, but general outreach tactics, on marketplace take-up among individuals losing Medi-Cal coverage.
