Sustainability of Resources for a HBE
• The V
• VHRI Advisory Council did not have the opportunity to discuss
resources needed for a HBE. This information will be provided at a

• However, one of the key policy options for minimizing adverse
selection is to ensure broad funding for the HBE functions.
• The costs of these functions need to be covered by assessments or
user fees to participating insurers in the Exchange, state funds, or

Bureau of Insurance or Medicaid, absorb Exchange functions that
are above and beyond their existing functions, some these costs
may also need to be allocated from the funding mechanism.
