The Washington Health Benefit Exchange is a public-private partnership established following the enactment of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Its core mission is to radically improve how Washington residents access health care by making insurance more affordable and accessible. The Exchange operates Washington Healthplanfinder, an online marketplace where individuals, families, and small businesses can compare and enroll in qualified health and dental plans from various providers. It also serves as the primary portal for residents to access financial help, such as tax credits and subsidies, to reduce the cost of their coverage.
