Great job by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in saving taxpayers $360M by streamlining its Affordable Care Act Navigator program.
Last year, CMS spent $98M to enroll 92,000 individuals in federally-facilitated health exchanges at a cost of $1,061 per enrollment.
12 of the 56 navigator programs had an average cost of over $3,000 per enrollment.
In 2019, CMS's navigator program spent just $10M and achieved the same percentage of exchange enrollment.
This will allow the program to maintain the same enrollment percentage with less spending, making it more efficient.
