Bill would let Health Benefit Exchange set annual market-factor criteria to shore up county coverage ESSB 62 10 would authorize the Washington Health Benefit Exchange to develop annual market‑factor certification criteria (meaningful differences, provider networks, premiums, formularies) and to convene stakeholders in counties at risk of being left with one carrier; sponsors say it’s a tool to stabilize rural access without immediate budget costs.
