Federal officials have acknowledged HealthCare.gov is still experiencing errors in transmitting enrollee information to insurance companies, according to a report from The Hill.
In a joint statement with America's Health Insurance Plans and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, CMS said it's working with insurance industry members to resolve the issues, according to the report.
Earlier this week, The Washington Post reported approximately one-third of the people who have enrolled in health plans through the federal exchange site since Oct. 1 have been affected by errors such as failure to notify insurers about new customers, duplicate enrollments or cancelation notices for the same individual, mistakes concerning federal subsidies and incorrect information about family members.
In response, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday that figure doesn't reflect current circumstances, and federal officials have made "huge improvements" to 834 forms, the documents used to transmit people's choice of insurance coverage and personal information.
Since its launch last month, the federal exchange website has experienced numerous technical issues. However, federal officials have made "substantial progress" during the last five weeks in repairing HealthCare.gov, which can now support 50,000 users at a time, according to an HHS progress report.
