Others include forging ahead with the current website contractor CGI Group, looking for a new vendor, or scrapping the website and starting over.

Officials warn that March could be a busy month.

The deadline to sign up or risk fees for those seeking non-subsidized insurance plans is March 31. Those seeking subsidized plans in Massachusetts have until June 30.
