These expenditures include costs for information technology development, purchase of licensing rights, project management, and personnel and administrative costs associated with the development of the infrastructure for the operating company. The connector plans to leverage the integrated eligibility system that the state of hawaii (medquest/dhs/connector) is building, which will determine eligibility for all insurance affordability programs. This approach will consolidate health insurance selection.
