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.
The number of burden hours
decreased by 6,925 (from 89,725 to 82,800 hours). Based on
historical data of collection activity, the number of respondents
(issuer submissions) has decreased from 700 to 500 for small group.
Additionally, the total number of respondents (issuers) decreased
from 750 to 700. Although PlanFinder submissions are required 4x
per year to capture quarterly product enrollment changes, with the
RBIS annual model, submissions 4x per year are no longer required.
CMS will continue to provide four submission windows per year in
case of changes or updates to submitted data, but some issuers may
be able to provide data only once for the entire plan year. Issuer
burden hours have slightly increased as a result of requirements
associated with the addition of the RBIS URL template (Appendix
G).
