TAC and Stakeholder Involvement

Technical Advisory Committee

The Health Care Authority (HCA) set up a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to assist in development of Health Benefit Exchange policy issues. This group will advise HCA on policy options. Option papers will outline the policy options and serve as the vehicle for review and discussions leading up to the 2012 legislative session. The TAC will advise HCA until the Exchange Board takes over governance of the exchange in March 2012.

Upcoming Meetings

All TAC calls are open to the public. There are no planned upcoming meetings at this time.
