New York: 812K Total, est. 3,700 QHPs per day (?)

Yesterday there was an unofficial NY count of 100K total enrollments (QHPs + Medicaid) in the past week (which I estimated broke down to 12,920 QHPs on Friday & Saturday, or 6,460 per day).

Today they gave the official number (still not broken out, though): 812,033 combined.

ALBANY (March 30, 2014) – NY State of Health (NYSOH), the State’s official health plan marketplace, reported that as of 9 a.m. today, 1,162,795 New Yorkers have completed their applications and 812,033 have enrolled for coverage since the launch of the Marketplace on October 1, 2013. More than 70 percent of those who have enrolled to date were uninsured at the time of application.

The previous exact number was 782K, broken out to 367K QHPs and 415K Medicaid. as of 3/27.

So, this is another 29,561 in the past 3 days.

Again, assuming a breakout of 38% QHPs to 62% Medicaid, that'd be around 11,233 QHPs and 18,328 new Medicaid enrollees in a 3 day period.

3,744 QHPs per day is actually down from my assumptions yesterday (I thought it referred to a 2 day period, not 3), but still way up from the rest of March to date.
