The Affordable Care Act of 2010, known as federal health care reform, requires states to establish Health Benefit Exchanges for individuals and small businesses to obtain affordable health care coverage. The California Healthcare Eligibility, Enrollment, and Retention System (CalHEERS) is an automated system that serves as the consolidated system support for eligibility, enrollment, and retention for the California Health Benefit Exchange (also known as Covered California), Medi-Cal, and Healthy Families. Streamlines resources from which individuals and small businesses will be able to research, compare, check their eligibility for, and purchase health coverage. The CalHEERS Project went live to the public on October 1, 2013. The CalHEERS system development involved the two project sponsors - Covered California and the Department of Healthcare Services (DHCS) - and 13 program partners. CalHEERS supports the maintenance, operations, and ongoing business of Covered California. It is also one of the systems that support the maintenance, operations, and ongoing business of the DHCS.
