In accordance with Sections 1103 and 10102 of The Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act, P.L. 111-148 (PPACA) the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is tasked with developing and implementing an Internet website portal to assist consumers with identifying affordable and comprehensive health insurance coverage options that are available in their State.
CCIIO has created a system where insurance issuers and their states log into the web portal using a custom user ID and password validation. The states were asked to provide information on issuers in their state and various websites (see Appendix E). The issuers have been downloading a basic information template to enter data then upload into the portal.
Information to be collected on issuers and products can be found in Appendix C. The pricing and benefits data that will be collected can be found in Appendix D. The templates and instructions presented in support of this PRA package as Appendix G are those developed for the prior data collections.
The current estimate for the burden on issuers is a reduction of $755,200 from the
initial estimates provided in 2010, as evidenced in the included tables.
Essentially, during the course of the prior year, we have readjusted our estimate
for the amount of time required to set up reporting systems and begin submissions.
However, we are also proposing a change in methodology to allow for fewer actual
submissions (from 13,000 down to 5,550) by making quarterly reports sufficient to
reflect changes to benefits and pricing. We would anticipate that after the first
year costs will begin to decrease significantly as issuers familiarize themselves
with the systems and requirements. The burden on State governments is anticipated to
drop from $50,539.50 to $37,625 based primarily on a reduction in training costs
associated with a basic refresh in contrast to an initial submission.
