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.
