Since 2001, the Office of Indigent Defense Services (“IDS”) has overseen legal representation for indigent defendants and others entitled to counsel in North Carolina. Created by an act of the N.C. General Assembly, the organization works daily to make real the Constitution`s right to counsel for those charged with crimes or who face significant deprivations to their liberty. IDS trains, qualifies, and sets performance standards for attorneys, as well as determines the most appropriate and cost-effective methods for delivering legal defense services in each of the state`s judicial districts. It is committed to recruiting North Carolina`s most talented attorneys to represent indigent defendants and to providing those attorneys with the resources they need to be effective. IDS works diligently to anticipate and resolve systemic issues that impact defenders and their clients. For two decades, it has distinguished itself nationally as a leader in the development of innovative, high quality, cost-effective, and accountable indigent defense programs. Many states, including Georgia, Texas and Virginia, have looked to IDS`s example and establishing act for guidance in improving their own defense systems. The organization`s programmatic work includes efforts to increase communication and resource-sharing with the private bar; the development of legal training programs, often in partnership with the UNC School of Government; the establishment of a specialized Office of the Juvenile Defender; and the creation of performance guidelines for appointed counsel across a number of practice areas. IDS also works regularly with the Offices of the Capital Defender and Appellate Defender to recruit and evaluate attorneys for their respective rosters, ensure their appointments in a timely and equitable manner, and to support them with expert services. IDS and its staff are committed to the continued delivery of quality legal services to indigent persons throughout North Carolina.

District of Columbia, Health Benefit Exchange Authority

The DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority (HBX) was established by the District of Columbia to develop and operate the ACA online health insurance marketplace called DC Health Link for residents and small businesses in the District. HBX is a private-public partnership established to foster competition and transparency in the private health insurance market, enabling individuals and small businesses to compare health insurance prices and benefits and to purchase affordable, quality health insurance. Although the last state to start building the IT system, DC was one of four state-based marketplaces to open for business on time on October 1, 2013. DC Health Link offers health insurance from 3 UnitedHealth Companies, 2 Aetna Companies, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, and Kaiser. Approximately 100,000 people have private health insurance through DC Health Link and this includes more than 5,000 District small businesses, approximately 11,000 designated Congressional staff and Members of Congress, and thousands of District residents. Since opening for business, we`ve cut the uninsured rate in half and now more than 96% of District residents have health coverage. Among state-based marketplaces and the federal marketplace, DCHealthLink is ranked number one for consumer decision support tools by Clear Choices (2017 and 2018). AWS awarded its 2016 and 2018 Best Practices in Innovation Award to HBX for using agile development open source code and being fully in the cloud. In 2017 the Massachusetts Health Connector for Business chose HBX to replace old technology. HBX and the Connector have the first in the nation and only state-based marketplace partnership to share technology and costs.
