As required by the CMS-9989-F: Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers ("Exchange rule"), each Exchange must assume responsibilities related to the certification and offering of Qualified Health Plans ("QHP"). To offer insurance through an Exchange, a health insurance issuer must have its health plans certified as QHPs by the Exchange. A QHP must meet certain minimum certification standards, such as network adequacy, actuarial value standards, and the offering of the essential health benefits (EHB). The Exchange is responsible for ensuring that QHPs meet these minimum certification standards as described in the Exchange rule under 45 CFR 155 and 156, based on the Affordable Care Act, as well as other requirements determined by the Exchange.
HHS proposed an emergency modification of this data collection for the DDC information collection in Appendix D. This information collection was also published in the Federal Register for public comment on July 30, 2014. We estimate that this modification would result in an additional burden of approximately 600 hours and $46,200 for all 2,400 risk adjustment covered and reinsurance eligible issuers.
