BOSTON — With the next open enrollment period set for Nov. 15, Gov. Deval Patrick on Monday said the state’s troubled health care exchange website is fixed, at a cost of an additional $26 million to the state, bringing the federal and state total to $254 million in information technology costs.

The $254 million covers calendar years 2011 to 2015, and is $80 million higher than the original $174 million estimate to build the site, according to a Patrick administration spokeswoman. The state’s share of the cost is $42 million, up from the original $16 million.

Addressing attendees of a hearing on health care cost trends at Suffolk University Law School, Patrick said the additional $26 million is “significant,” but “not the hundreds of millions or billion dollar figures that some have bandied about.”
