In 2016, DC Health Link received an AWS City on a Cloud Best Practices Award for Innovation for its cloud-based agile open source solution. It enables DC Health Link to leverage its cloud-based, agile, open-source technology to bring new consumer-facing enhancements to the market that will benefit both DC and Massachusetts small businesses, while creating a solution architecture that presents the potential for expansion to other products or lines of business. Implementing the new technology will cost $4 million, funded by existing grants. The Health Connector will use the existing technology, with adjustments made to reflect the Health Connector and include plan and premium information for Massachusetts plans. “We will be able to add new on-line tools and invest in new technology improvements, while cutting operational costs,” said Mila Kofman, the Executive Director of the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority.ĭC Health Link small-group platform currently serves more than 65,000 people. “This partnership further enhances DC Health Link, a transparent and competitive on-line health insurance marketplace for small businesses,” said Diane Lewis, Chair of the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority Executive Board. “Leveraging this existing solution will make it easier for Massachusetts’ small businesses to access the plans offered by the Health Connector, and expand product offerings with more choices for employers and employees, and online shopping for small-group dental coverage.” “This collaboration with DC Health Link creates an affordable, sustainable option with end-to-end service for brokers, business owners and employees, and incorporates a stable technology platform that is proven to work for small businesses,” said Louis Gutierrez, the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Health Connector. “Small employers will have an option available to offer their employees which can simplify the administration of health insurance and reduce their costs.” “Providing employers with new affordable Health Connector options is an important component of our Massachusetts insurance market reforms,” said Marylou Sudders, Secretary of Health and Human Services and Chair of the Health Connector Board of Directors. Through this partnership, starting this fall the Health Connector will use a separate branch of DC Health Link’s existing online platform to improve available offerings to small businesses and their employees – including the ability for employees to potentially select their own plan from a range of choices – while reducing long-term operational costs for the small-group online system. ![]() The Health Connector Board of Directors today approved a first-in-the-nation collaboration with DCHBX, which manages and operates DC Health Link, the online health insurance marketplace in the District of Columbia.
