What are Data Matching Issues/Inconsistencies?
- When a customer applies for health coverage through Virginia's Insurance Marketplace, Virginia's Insurance Marketplace is required by federal law to verify the information provided in their application.
- Most of this information is immediately verified by Virginia's Insurance Marketplace, in some cases though, the information provided does not match the information stored in Virginia's Insurance Marketplace's verified data sources.
