CMS won't reveal error rate for sharing data with insurers

The Washington Examiner reports:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Monday declined to detail the error rates for the back-end process that provides insurers with information about enrollees in Obamacare's new insurance exchanges.

The White House is trumpeting fixes to the healthcare.gov website, saying it met a self-imposed Nov. 30 deadline to deliver a smooth user experience to the “vast majority” of consumers.

Insurers, however, say the federal website is nowhere near fixed, citing back-end issues with the online marketplaces. Insurance companies say they have been unable to receive data on many users who have successfully enrolled in Obamacare exchanges, preventing them from registering those consumers for the correct insurance plans.
The great moments of the Obama regime.
