What this guide can and cannot tell you
HealthPlansGuide is independent and is not a government website. This report is a source map for routing context; verify enrollment routes, eligibility, deadlines, and program status through official sources.
- It can organize official-source questions, timing checks, and documents to gather.
- It cannot enroll you, verify final eligibility, rank plans, or replace official Marketplace guidance.
Methodology
This source map covers the curated launch-state set rather than every state. California, Texas, New York, and Oklahoma are included because their routing examples test different official paths: state marketplace routing, HealthCare.gov routing, SBE-FP context, Medicaid or CHIP verification, and Oklahoma transition caveats.
Launch-state routing table
California routes Marketplace users to a state marketplace, Covered California. Texas uses HealthCare.gov as the federally facilitated Marketplace route. New York routes users to New York State of Health as a state marketplace. CMS and CCIIO classify Oklahoma as SBE-FP for Plan Year 2026, and official OID guidance says Oklahoma consumers continue to shop for and enroll in Marketplace coverage through HealthCare.gov, federally certified EDE partners, or certified agents for 2026 and 2027 while the state-based exchange on the federal platform transition is tracked. HealthPlansGuide does not rank or route users to private enrollment partners in public v0.
Medicaid and CHIP boundary
Marketplace routing does not decide Medicaid or CHIP eligibility. For each launch state, Medicaid.gov state-help context remains the official path for applications, eligibility, renewal, and coverage-status questions before a user shares sensitive details elsewhere.
Curated scope, not template spam
This is a curated source map, not all-state template spam or a 50-state directory. New state pages should be added only when official route data, state-specific caveats, Medicaid or CHIP context, and related playbooks create enough user value to pass the content gate.
How to reuse this report
When this routing table is cited from a guide, state page, or article, carry forward the reviewed date, official source IDs, and verification caveat. Do not copy a state route into a paid comparison or lead flow without rechecking the controlling official source.
