Virginia has awarded a contract to software firm GetInsured to help the state build its own health insurance exchange, instead of using healthcare.gov.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company was selected for an eight year contract and will create a technology platform and customer assistance center for the new exchange. The company has transitioned three other states from federal to state-based exchanges and manages the technology behind seven others, according to an Oct. 6 news release.
The plan does not impact the upcoming enrollment period, and the new exchange is expected to launch in fall 2023.
