HHS to request that States and territories submit the following: o
An application to apply for the Cycle II Premium Review Grants.
Guidance requirements for the application are provided beginning on
page 14 of the funding opportunity announcement. o Four quarterly
reports to the Secretary detailing the States' progression towards
a more comprehensive rate review process, utilizing funds awarded
in Cycle II Health Insurance Premium Review Grants. Data elements
are consistent with data elements in Cycle I Premium Review Grants.
The data elements are described in the Cycle I funding opportunity
announcement found at
http://www.grants.gov/search/search.do?mode=VIEW&oppId=55029. o
Rate review transaction data collected by the State. o One annual
report. o One final report at the end of the grant. This above
information will assist HHS in planning for and executing grants to
States for health insurance premium review. In addition, reporting
of information by grant awardees will assist HHS in assuring that
grant awardees report and share data with the Secretary as required
by the grant program.
