Key questions

  • Does the state use HealthCare.gov, a state-based Marketplace, or a supported state-based platform?
  • Is the user moving, losing coverage, or responding to a Medicaid or CHIP notice?
  • Which official source was most recently checked?

Suggested next steps

  • Start at the state-route hub or source map.
  • Use state pages only where official route data and state-specific caveats exist.
  • Verify Medicaid or CHIP questions through state agency or Medicaid.gov routing.

Start with the official route map

Use curated state routing instead of assuming every state follows the same Marketplace path.

Check published state examples

Use states where official route data and state-specific value already exist.

Understand the route vocabulary

Define route labels before comparing private coverage options.
