The AIS Data Team hopes you are using last month’s updated enrollment data, now available on your subscriber dashboard via the Search Tool and in the In-App Download Enrollment Data Spreadsheets. The data now primarily reflects second quarter 2018 status.

All in-app downloads were updated with the new data, and we have updated the ACO Directory, an Excel spreadsheet of accountable care organizations and other value-based contract agreements entered into by health plans listed in AIS’s Directory of Health Plans, as well as CMS ACOs.

As we continue to track membership changes on quarterly basis, developments in the health insurance industry will affect the data through 2018 and beyond. Be sure to follow the Newsfeed. Recent topics include:
