Pro / Con: #2 Keep the technology / new vendor

Factor
Alignment to Oregon needs Impact to the State of Oregon Customer functional fit Impact to Carriers Impact to CPA

Pro
Exchange was designed based on Oregon policy, law and ability to shape decision making to meet Oregons needs Included full integration among variety of programs such as Medicaid, QHP Fewer unknown risks than a new solution Maintain integration to sister programs within Oregon which facilitates enrollment in Medicaid Ability to use Agents can boost enrollments (5,000+ to date) Current technology allows Community Partners / Agents and Individuals to use the site Carriers could have greater input into requirements Agents have custom functionality within Cover Oregon portal

Con

Need for expertise and capacity to finish and manage an Oregon specific exchange

Non operational SHOP

Deployment of interfaces have been slow Frustrated partners due to implementation issues

Pro / Con: #2 Keep the technology / new vendor, cont.

Factor
Cost (a more robust cost analysis to follow) Product performance

Pro
Lower ongoing, long-term costs of 2.5% charged to carriers versus 3.5% charged by Federal Ability to leverage sunk costs and assets into the future Eligibility determination is working along with shopping and plan selection Portal is enrolling customers through Agents Infrastructure and functionality is in place with enrollments occurring; no full implementation required Higher continuity with current technology

Con
Higher initial one-time implementation costs than FFM alternative

Missing re-enrollment, change of circumstances and SHOP Carrier interfaces not complete Usability testing needs to be expanded to include end users Ability to meet tight timeline will depend on outstanding gaps analysis and ability to institute governance and program management improvements Disruption due to new vendor onboarding and potential architectural changes

Timeline fit for November 2014 Disruption; business continuity impact

11

Pro / Con: #9 Federal Partnership

Factor
Alignment to Oregon needs

Pro
Inability to make custom changes Has Individual QHP eligibility, plan shopping and enrollment Has predetermined carrier interfaces

Con
Inability to make custom changes Must fit into predetermined solution Not an integrated solution for multiple State programs (short term) Minimal Agent functionality SHOP currently not deployed Lose ability to integrate with Medicaid Lose flexibility on exchange roadmap including integration to multiple State programs Unknown at this point Idaho consumers reported dissatisfaction dealing with Federal call center Need for data migration Full end-to-end testing cycle Some carriers would need to develop new interfaces (11 carriers have interfaces; 5 do not) Lesser match to Carrier technical needs, e.g., EDI versus web services CPA do not have client management functionality No ability to search for CPAs

Impact to State of Oregon Customer functional fit Has end to end Individual functionality Simplifies governance and decision making Has all basic functional needs for individual

Impact to Carriers

Some carriers could leverage Federal interfaces already built

(e.g., Rhode Island)
Factor
Alignment to Oregon needs Impact to State of Oregon Customer functional fit

Pro
Potential fit due to multiple state systems There are states with end-to-end functionality including SHOP Rhode Island example solution has necessary functional areas

Con
Need to complete gap analysis on alternatives Must implement new State solution Lose flexibility on exchange roadmap including integration to multiple State programs Need to reintegrate with Medicaid Need to complete gap fit with any other state solution No known state technology set up to transfer technical 100% solution fit to another state Need for data migration Full end-to-end testing cycle Need to modify all interfaces to fit new solution Must learn new application

Pro / Con: #3 State Transfer SBM, cont.

Factor
Cost (a more robust cost analysis to follow) Product performance For November Timeline fit for November 2014

Pro
Similar costs for one-time implementation to keep the technology alternative May have proven architecture Functioning system in other states

Con
More expensive one-time implementation costs than Federal option Disruption and continuity costs Limited set of solutions that can satisfy without significant modifications Unsure about SHOP based on state solution Unsure about re-enrollment and change of circumstance based on state solution Must confirm contract issues Must select new solution Must confirm new solution with CCIIO Unsure of technical ability to be used by Oregon Data transfer Carrier interfaces must be reintegrated CO would need to learn new system Search and selection of new solution Potential for parallel systems for a period of time

Unknown

Disruption; business continuity impact

May be able to reduce number of manual work arounds based on solution
