OXLO Systems Releases 35 Page White Paper to Aid Integration with Health Insurance Exchanges
BROOMFIELD, CO – Apr 9, 2012 – Oxlo Systems Inc., a Software as a Service (SaaS) company that provides business intelligence and information technology for the health care industry, has partnered with ACA-Solutions, Inc., a consulting firm formed to help health insurance companies comply with the Affordable Care Act, to release a white paper entitled "A Rapid Adaptation Strategy for Integrating with Health Insurance Exchanges." The 32-page paper was written to help health insurance executives clearly understand the data integration requirements associated with the mandated Health Insurance Exchanges (Exchanges).

Health Insurance Exchanges are the centerpiece of the private health insurance reforms of the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Through state-based Exchanges, federally-facilitated Exchanges, and Federal-State Partnership Exchanges, individuals and small employers may shop for, select, and enroll in private sector health plans known as Qualified Health Plans (QHPs). Exchanges are expected to create substantial new markets for private-sector health insurance carriers, with an estimated 27-30 million people gaining coverage through Exchanges by 2019.
"If health insurance carriers are going to capture a share of the new business generated by Exchanges, they must be ready to interact and exchange data in new ways," explains Gene Brothers, CEO and President of OXLO Systems. The new white paper uses the business blueprints published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to detail the required automated data integration that health insurance carriers must be prepared to support if they intend to offer QHPs through an Exchange.
According to the white paper's author, DeLana Anderson, an independent consultant with ACA-Solutions, "The [Carrier's] ability to exchange data with the various governmental entities will be more successful if their technology closely mirrors the same standards and guidance to which the States must adhere. Carriers will need to receive data from, and send data to, many entities. This will require technology which can easily transform the Carrier's data to meet the unique file formats and support the transfer protocols of each integration partner."
"A Rapid Adaptation Strategy for Integrating with Health Insurance Exchanges" provides an overview of the data integration needs and requirements for successful Carrier participation in Exchanges, as well as IT recommendations and suggested timelines for implementation. The white paper is available for free download at http://blog.oxlo.com/rapid-adaptation-strategy-for-integrating-with-health-insurance-exchanges/.

"We're seeing major changes in the health care marketplace. Providers are forming new, risk-taking relationships, including forming networks among competing providers, affiliations with insurers, local networks and, in particular, Accountable Care Organizations, " explains Gene Brothers, CEO and President of OXLO Systems.
Through Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), a group of health care providers offer coordinated care and receive payments that are tied to achieving health care quality goals and outcomes that result in cost savings. The health care law passed in 2011 focused on the creation of ACOs for Medicare patients, but there is increasing interest in the concept to control costs for commercial patients as well.
Mr. Brothers reports that new provider/payer relationships and an increase in health care provider mergers and consolidations has created a demand for hard information on which to base business decisions. OXLO Health Insurance Insight™ provides local, regional and national competitive data that decision makers in the health care industry need. The online service provides comprehensive data about health plan rates and coverages through Plan Data Aggregation, Plan Review and Rate Monitoring, Data Feeds and a Reporting Engine.
