HHS Implementation Office Established

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced the creation of a new division to oversee and manage health reform implementation efforts.  Speculated by some to be eventually headed by Jon Kingsdale, former executive director of the Massachusetts Connector, the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight will provide leadership in implementing the new health reform law.  Within this divisions will be five different offices:

1. Office of the Director
2. Office of Oversight
3. Office of Insurance Programs
4. Office of Consumer Support
5. Office of Health Insurance Exchanges

The notice published in the Federal Register outlines the responsibilities of each office and can be found by clicking here.
