Thanks for contacting us. My name is Jose. To protect your privacy, please don't provide any personal information, like Social Security Number, or any other sensitive medical or personal information.

Hello, are you looking for information about health insurance in the state you live in, or a different state?
[4:54:35 pm]: [NAME OMITTED]
No I am having a problem viewing my eligibility results
[4:54:48 pm]: Jose
I apologize for the inconvenience.
[4:54:54 pm]: Jose
In order to provide you with the right information, can you please tell me what state do you live in?

Tennessee
[4:55:45 pm]: Jose
I can answer your questions about the Marketplace and how you can enroll. You can also use HealthCare.gov to find this information and what programs you may qualify for, as well as find and apply for coverage, compare plans, and enroll in a health insurance plan. You can apply now through the end of open enrollment. Open enrollment for health coverage in 2014 closes on March 31, 2014.
[4:56:04 pm]: Jose
Thank you for your interest in the Marketplace and for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any technical difficulties you may be experiencing as you use HealthCare.gov. We know this can be frustrating, and we're working around the clock to improve HealthCare.gov and to make sure your experience with it is a positive one.
[4:57:04 pm]: [NAME OMITTED]  
That is of no help at all. I already did that. but when I click the button that says "VIew Eligibiliy Results" it brings up a blank page and has done so since Oct 15
[4:57:15 pm]: Jose
That may be the reason why you are not able to see your eligibility results.
[4:57:37 pm]: Jose
Because of how many people are using the website at the same time its causing technical difficulties for some users. We're working to solve the problems. What I can recommend is you can either wait for the website to be fixed or call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 and enroll over the phone.
[4:57:47 pm]: Jose
I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
[4:58:48 pm]: [NAME OMITTED]
Can you help at all or is all you do is tell me to go the the non-working website, which is why I contact you or call the phone number?
[5:00:17 pm]: Jose
Unfortunately, we are not able to ask for personal information over chat. Therefore, we will not be able to access your account to see your eligibility results or help you filling out the account. I am really sorry.

[5:00:30 pm]: 
[NAME OMITTED]
OK, thanks
[5:00:42 pm]: Jose
Thank you for contacting Health Insurance Marketplace Live Chat. We are here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
[5:01:00 pm]: 'Jose' has left the chat session.
[5:01:02 pm]: Your chat session is over. Thanks for contacting us, and we hope we've answered your questions. Have a great day.
[5:01:02 pm]: 11/5/2013
