CMS-10527 - Non-substantive change request justification

Non-Substantive Change Request to CMS-10527 (OMB Control No. 0938-1254)

This is a non-substantive change request to CMS-10527 (Annual Eligibility Redetermination, Product Discontinuation and Renewal Notices) to allow CMS to provide updated Federal standard notices that must be used by an issuer in the individual market to provide notice of product discontinuation, coverage renewal, and non-renewal or termination based on enrollees’ movement outside the product service area. We are proposing nonsubstantive changes in this information collection to the standard notices for renewal and re-enrollment in QHPs through Exchanges. The changes are limited to adding clarifications in the static text of attachments 2 and 4 to ensure consumers understand that information about their monthly payment and amount of financial help is estimated based on current information and actual amounts could be different depending on a number of factors, such as cost changes in the enrollee’s area and changes in household income and family size.

We believe that the changes will not affect the burden on issuers.
