The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has transformed the healthcare system, presenting both challenges and opportunities for health plans. Navigating the ACA landscape requires a solid strategy for compliance, competitive positioning and long-term success. ProspHire’s expertise can help health plans adapt to the ever-changing ACA marketplace while maximizing enrollment, improving member care and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

In order to offer plans in the Marketplace, Issuers must apply for Quality Health Plan Certification annually, meaning compliance with regulations is non-negotiable. ProspHire assists health plans in staying up to date with ACA requirements, including essential health benefits, product design, rate development and reporting obligations. Our solutions ensure that health plans are always prepared for audits and regulatory changes.
