October 1st marks the beginning of open enrollment for state health insurance exchanges, a key element of the Affordable Care Act. The health benefit exchanges are set to offer competing coverage from private health care providers via online marketplaces, with attached government subsidies designed to allow uninsured Americans unprecedented access to affordable health insurance coverage. Experts estimate up to 29 million Americans will be covered through the exchanges before the end of the decade.

The challenge for many states across the nation has been implementing effective outreach solutions, to convince the nation's uninsured to sign up for the exchanges and to better understand what other benefits they qualify for under the new law. In addition to the exchanges, the Affordable Care Act has effectively expanded Medicare and Medicaid to include millions more of the nation's most vulnerable populations.

Agencies and healthcare providers have been inundated with calls and inquiries, as thousands of Americans increasingly seek help and guidance to better grasp where they stand under the new regulations. As such, major inbound call center companies, like The Connection, have been highly sought after to handle the massive call volumes currently bombarding many agencies and businesses.
