Obamacare Train Wreck Disaster Gets Even Worse … Insurers Get Wrong Data

The Obamacare (Healthcare.gov) web site is just an unmitigated disaster …

And you wonder why the politicians who passed this law exempted themselves from having to deal with it like “We the People”. So now if you are one of the lucky few who can actually get through and enroll, there is no guarantee the the data is correct. GOOD GRIEF!!!

Insurers say the federal health-care marketplace is generating flawed data that is straining their ability to handle even the trickle of enrollees who have gotten through so far, in a sign that technological problems extend further than the website traffic and software issues already identified.

Emerging errors include duplicate enrollments, spouses reported as children, missing data fields and suspect eligibility determinations, say executives at more than a dozen health plans. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Nebraska said it had to hire temporary workers to contact new customers directly to resolve inaccuracies in submissions. Medical Mutual of Ohio said one customer had successfully signed up for three of its plans.

The flaws could do lasting damage to the law if customers are deterred from signing up or mistakenly believe they have obtained coverage.
