The provisions of title XXVII of the
Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) are designed to make it easier
for people to get access to health care coverage and to reduce the
limitations that can be put on the coverage. Sections 2723 and 2761
of the PHS Act direct CMS to enforce a provision (or provisions) of
title XXVII of the PHS Act with respect to health insurance issuers
when a state has notified CMS that it has not enacted legislation
to enforce or that it is not otherwise enforcing a provision (or
provisions) of the individual and group market reforms with respect
to health insurance issuers, or when CMS has determined that a
state is not substantially enforcing one or more of those
provisions. This collection also pertains to notices issued by
individual and group health insurance issuers and self-funded
non-Federal governmental plans. This collection includes the
issuance of certificates of creditable coverage; notification of
preexisting condition exclusions; notification of special
enrollment rights; and review of issuers' filings of individual and
group market products or similar Federal review in cases in which a
state is not enforcing a title XXVII individual or group market
provision.
