CMS will automatically match and reenroll affected members with health insurers remaining on the exchange to avoid coverage lapses. Displaced policyholders will be matched with comparable health plans that reflect their previous benefits and cost in their geographical regions, according to the report. 

In Ohio, 14,000 new marketplace members will be added to CareSource, and another 25,000 will be added in Indiana. Coverage will begin in 2017.
