A Valuable Partnership

 

The dedicated leadership and staff at MHBE strive to onboard insurance carriers with ease and efficiency. In addition, carriers are invited to engage with MHBE in the Plan Management Stakeholder Committee (PMSC). The PMSC is the forum for communicating information on technical and operational approaches, timelines, and discussion of key integration, data exchange and policy implementation between MHBE and our partners. The PMSC’s scope covers both the individual and small business marketplaces.

Maryland Health Benefit Exchange values feedback from carriers. If you have a question or a suggestion for how we can partner with insurance carriers, contact us at mhbe.carriers@maryland.gov.
