Screenshots from Show Me My Health Plans. Our final card sorting feature uses an algorithm to predict annual expenditures based on MEPS data and the plan details in the ACA marketplace plans available in their county. It also shows them features of the top plans that are personalized to their annual expenditures plus preferences. They can save plans to favorites and see all plans available to them if they want to trade off more coverage at a higher cost, for example, but our algorithm sorts them by annual plan cost to them/their families (also factoring in potential financial risks based on number of health conditions and the probability that they might incur very high costs associated with them in any given calendar year)
