*Intended Use of Early Retiree Reinsurance Program Reimbursements

Please summarize how your organization will use the reimbursement under the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) by checking the appropriate box that appears next to (a), (b) or (c):
1. To reduce health benefit or health benefit premium costs for the sponsor of the employment-based plan (i.e., to offset increases in such costs);
2. To reduce, or offset increases in, premium contributions, copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, or other out-of-pocket costs (or combination of these) for plan participants; or
3. To reduce or offset increases for a combination of any of these costs (whether reducing or offsetting increases in sponsor costs or reducing, or offsetting increases in, plan participants’ costs).

For assistance with answering this question, you may wish to view the program regulations and Common Questions at www.errp.gov for information on permissible uses of ERRP reimbursement.

If the sponsor indicated in Question E.1 that it intends to use any of the reimbursement under the ERRP to reduce the sponsor’s health benefit or health benefit premium costs (i.e., the sponsor checked either (a) or (c)), the ERRP regulation requires a sponsor to maintain its level of contribution toward the plan, solely as a way of ensuring that the sponsor does not violate the statutory prohibition on using program funds as general revenue. Therefore, if the sponsor checked either (a) or (c), the sponsor must attest to the following by checking this box.

Affirmation by Authorized Representative

Prior to the Sponsor’s first reimbursement request for an ERRP application, its Authorized Representative must agree to the following:

As the Authorized Representative of the plan sponsor identified in this application, I hereby affirm that the sponsor will make a reasonable, good-faith effort to satisfy the following requirements, and that the sponsor will be prepared to demonstrate that it has made such a good-faith effort with respect to the following requirements, upon the request of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services:

Sponsor will use any and all Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP) reimbursement proceeds to: (A) Reduce the sponsor’s health benefit premiums or health benefit costs, (B) Reduce health benefit premium contributions, copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, or other out of pocket costs, or any combination of these costs, for plan participants, or (C) Reduce any combination of the costs in (A) or (B).

If sponsor uses any portion of ERRP reimbursement funds to offset increases its own health benefit premiums or health benefit costs, sponsor will comply with the statutory and regulatory prohibition against using ERRP reimbursement as general revenue, by maintaining its level of contribution toward supporting the plan.

Sponsor will provide a notice to all plan participants notifying them that, because the plan is participating in the Affordable Care Act's Early Retiree Reinsurance Program, the plan may use the payments to reduce premium contributions, co-payments, deductibles, co-insurance, or other out-of-pocket costs, and therefore that plan participants may experience such changes in the terms and conditions of their plan participation. Sponsor will provide this notice, drafted by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), in a manner specified in HHS guidance.

Sponsor will submit claims only for items and services that Medicare would cover, as specified in HHS guidance.

Sponsor Must Review Response Files

After submitting an Early Retiree List, a Plan Sponsor will receive from the ERRP Center a response file specifying which individuals on the Early Retiree List are approved or rejected for the purpose of submitting cost/claims data and requesting reimbursement. If an individual is approved, the response file will include the dates within the plan year for which the sponsor can submit cost/claims data and request reimbursement. Also, the response file, for records that are either rejected or approved only for a portion of the time period requested, will specify the reason(s) for the rejection or partial approval.

See the column labeled “Outgoing Response & Notification Files” in both tables in Part II.B. to identify the data elements returned to the Plan Sponsor in the response file.

Submit Summary Cost Data

A Plan Sponsor must submit with each Reimbursement Request (via data entry in the ERRP Secure Website) the following summary cost data related to the Reimbursement Request, on a cumulative basis. The data must correlate to the corresponding data in the Claim List specified in E. that is submitted for the same reimbursement request:

* Cost Paid by Plan - User enterable text field. This represents the aggregated actual costs for health benefits paid by the plan and incurred for Early Retirees
* Cost Paid by Early Retiree - User enterable text field. This represents the aggregated actual costs for health benefits paid by approved Early Retirees
* Threshold Reduction - User enterable text field. This field represents the aggregated cost threshold reduction amount for all approved Early Retirees with costs for health benefits reported for the plan year. The Plan Sponsor’s data aggregator shall be responsible for calculating and inputting the threshold reductions.
Limit Reduction - User enterable text field. This field represents the aggregated cost limit reduction amount for all approved Early Retirees with costs for health benefits reported for the plan year. The Plan Sponsor’s data aggregator shall be responsible for calculating and inputting the limit reductions.

Submit Claim List(s)

A Plan Sponsor must submit with each Reimbursement Request the following data:

*Reimbursement Request Number (assigned by HHS)
*Vendor ID (if applicable)
*Plan Sponsor ID (assigned by HHS)
*Application ID (assigned by HHS)

A Plan Sponsor must submit with each Reimbursement Request an electronic cumulative Claim List (via a Mainframe or Secure Website Upload method) containing the detailed claim line records supporting the costs included in its reimbursement request. The form and content of the list will vary, depending on the method of delivery, as follows.
