More than 4,400 Assister Programs, employing more than 28,000 full-time-equivalent staff and volunteers, helped an estimated 10.6 million people during the first Open Enrollment period.
Assistance resources were not evenly distributed across states. In states with State-based Marketplaces (SBM) and Consumer Assistance Partnership Marketplaces (FPM), there were about twice as many Assisters available per 10,000 uninsured, compared to states with a Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM). The number of people helped per 1,000 uninsured was also greater in State and Partnership Marketplaces; SBMs helped about twice as many people relative to the uninsured population compared to FFMs, while FPMs helped about 1.5 times as many relative to the uninsured population. Some people who were helped enrolled in new QHPs, and some in Medicaid and CHIP. Others who sought help didn’t enroll in coverage, for example, if they were ineligible for both Medicaid and premium tax credits.
