Missing race, ethnicity information in healthcare.gov marketplace enrollment data

JAMA Network

About The Study: In this study of HealthCare.gov Marketplace enrollment data from 2015 to 2021, race and ethnicity information were missing for 32% of enrollees. Further analysis suggested that enrollees with missing data were disproportionately Black and Hispanic and that the Marketplace may serve a more diverse population than indicated by self-reported data.
