This collection is necessary for HHS
to reconcile advance payments for cost-sharing reductions to health
insurance issuers against actual amounts paid by issuers on behalf
of enrollees during the benefit year.
We are revising this collection
to estimate a reduction in burden. The cessation of CSR payments to
issuers coupled with the fact that the CSR reconciliation data
submission is now optional for issuers has led to a significant
reduction in the number of issuers that submit data reports during
the CSR data submission window. Since it is now optional, following
2017, for issuers to generate reports and submit CSR data to CMS,
it is reducing the capital requirements associated with operating a
CSR plan in the aggregate. Although all issuers must now use the
standard methodology and may no longer use either the simplified or
simplified AV methodologies, this is still outweighed by the fact
that many less issuers are submitting reports. Further, even for
those issuers that do submit files, we are no longer requiring
issuers to submit plan level data. As a result, this will lead to
an overall reduction in burden going forward as compared to prior
years.
