Now it's time to move on to the actual demographic breakout of 2025 Open Enrollment Period (OEP) Qualified Health Plan (QHP) enrollment.
First up: Breaking out new enrollees vs. existing enrollees who either actively re-enroll in an exchange plan for another year or who passively allow themselves to be automatically renewed into their current plan (or to be "mapped" to a similar plan if the current one is no longer available).
Nationally, 17% of all exchange QHP enrollees were new this year. The other 83% are current enrollees who signed up for another year, either actively (39%) or passively (45%).
New York had the lowest percent of new enrollees (11%), while Minnesota had the highest at 28%.
As I've noted before, there's still a massive divide between federal and state-based exchanges when it comes to active renewals: Over 45% of federal exchange states actively renewed (which is good!)...but only 22% of state-based exchange enrollees did. Active renewals range from just 8% in Rhode Island & DC to 58% in Utah.
The most recent press release from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) which included actual enrollment data about the 2025 ACA Open Enrollment Period (OEP) came out back on January 17, 2025 as one of the final communications from the outgoing Biden/Harris Administration.
This press release didn't include any accompanying Public Use Files (PUFs) since it only included semi-final enrollment data for the 2025 period.
Final top-line numbers were available for the 31 states hosted via the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM), HealthCare.Gov...but the enrollment data was still preliminary for the 20 State-Based Marketplaces (SBEs), several of which hadn't even wrapped up Open Enrollment yet (including CA, DC, MA, NJ, NY, RI & VA). A few states final enrollment deadlines wouldn't hit until January 31st, over a week into the new Musk/Trump Regime.
With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage.
