Which organization is involved in Medicaid and ACA policy oversight and is responsible for Health Insurance Marketplaces?

• A. CICCIO
• B. OOIICC
• C. IIOCC
• D. CCIIO

Answer: (D)

CCIIO, the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, handles Medicaid and ACA policy oversight and is responsible for Health Insurance Marketplaces. This office within CMS was created to implement ACA protections for consumers, oversee the operation of the Marketplaces (including both state-based and federal marketplaces), set standards for qualified health plans, subsidies, enrollment processes, and interactions with insurance issuers. Its role ties together Medicaid/CHIP policy with marketplace rules to ensure consistent consumer protections and coverage options across programs. The other options do not correspond to the agency that carries out this specific oversight and marketplace stewardship.
