Some interesting new data from the Washington Health Benefit Exchange last week: While 11,497 people have enrolled in qualified (private) health plans (QHP) since the end of open enrollment in March (thanks to qualifying life events), 24,072 are no longer enrolled. Additionally, the press release includes a chart showing enrollment churn — that is, the numbers of people switching from a QHP to Medicaid and vice versa.

Through July 31, there are 147,888 enrolled in QHPs and 552,017 newly enrolled in Medicaid. (Of those new Medicaid enrollments, 352,386 are from those who are newly eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act expansion and 199,631 are from those who were previously eligible for Medicaid but had not enrolled.) Medicaid re-determinations (renewal of existing coverage through the Exchange) now total 583,765.

Of the 24,072 who are no longer enrolled in a QHP, 8,310 are people whose coverage was cancelled due to nonpayment, 7,735 are people who voluntarily ended coverage, and 8,027 are people who are no longer eligible for the QHP tax credits (including some who may now be eligible for Medicaid).

Below is the Exchange’s churn chart. Eligibility for both Medicaid and the QHP tax subsidies is based on income, so it’s to be expected that there is movement between the categories.
