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.
