HHS has developed and implemented an Internet website portal to assist consumers with identifying affordable and comprehensive health insurance coverage options that are available in their State. The Department 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.
There is an overall reduction of 1,500 hours (from 91,225 hours to 89,725 hours) due to a decrease in the number of issuers reporting from 800 to 750.
