Rhode Island: Over 23.6K QHPs to date

Remember, Rhode Island bumped out their January coverage deadline all the way through New Year's Eve, so even this data is still presumably missing a small surge on the final day:

HEALTHSOURCE RI RELEASES ENROLLMENT, DEMOGRAPHIC AND VOLUME DATA THROUGH DECEMBER 27, 2014

Posted on January 2, 2015 | By HealthSource RI

PROVIDENCE – HealthSource RI (HSRI) has released enrollment data, certain demographic data and certain volume metrics through Saturday, December 27, 2014, for Open Enrollment.

Enrollment data (November 7, 2014 through December 27, 2014)
As of December 27, 2014, 71% of Year One customers have renewed plans for 2015.*
Total New Customers: 4,969
Total Renewed Customers: 17,941
Total HealthSource RI enrollments for 2015 coverage
(including those who have not yet paid): 22,910
*As of December 30, 74% of Year One customers have renewed plans for 2015.

SHOP (cumulative as of December 27, 2014)
Small employer applications completed: 532
Small employer accounts created: 1,904
Small employer enrollment:  437 (representing 3,157 covered lives, based on their submitted census)
Small employers enrolling in Full Choice Model: 76%

Like last time, the odd presentation of the numbers requires some basic algebra for the most up-to-date numbers:

• 17,941 = 71% of Year One enrollees
• That means total Year One enrollees = roughly 25,269
• Which in turn means 74% renewed thru 12/30 = around 18,699
• Add another 4,969 new enrollees (thru 12/27) and you have a minimum of 23,668 total

They also include the updated SHOP number (3,157...actually down 35...clerical error, I assume), plus a whole mess of demographic info:

Note about data reconciliation: It is important to know that queries of the system run at different times and on different days may produce different sets of data as people move through various stages of the application and enrollment process. Data in this release reflect reconciled numbers through December 27, 2014; therefore, these numbers may differ slightly from numbers reported publicly or in prior releases.
