Which of the following is NOT a role of a health insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act?

The role of a health insurance exchange under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) involves several key functions designed to help individuals and small businesses access health insurance coverage. Facilitating enrollment in health plans and offering a variety of certified health plans for selection are fundamental aspects of what exchanges are established to do. Additionally, they play a crucial role in providing subsidies to eligible applicants, making health coverage more affordable.

However, contacting employers about employee coverage cessation is not one of the primary responsibilities of health insurance exchanges. While the ACA does include employer requirements regarding health coverage, the direct outreach to employers regarding specific situations, such as the cessation of coverage, typically falls under the purview of other regulations and entities, such as the Department of Labor or insurance companies. Therefore, this choice accurately reflects a function that health insurance exchanges do not perform as part of their mandate under the ACA.
