The Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduced new requirements for states in relation to making affordable healthcare available to state residents. Healthcare is available not just through the existing Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Programs, but also through the introduction of new programs to provide state residents with help in paying for private health insurance.
In support of the ACA legislation, the IBM Cúram Income Support and IBM Cúram Income Support for Medical Assistance products were extended. These solution modules now support the Health Care Reform provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with the addition of the Cúram Solution for Health Care Reform.
