3,186: MD health exchange website enrollment as of Oct. 23 [REPORT]

As of Oct. 23, the number of Marylanders who have enrolled in health plans via the state health exchange website is 3,186. More than 40,000 accounts with a verified identity have been created since Maryland Health Connection, the state’s health insurance exchange website, launched Oct. 1.
