Abstract:
The data collection will be used by HHS to obtain information from potential eligible individuals applying for coverage in the PCIP. On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act), Public Law 111-148. Section 1101 of the law establishes a "temporary high risk health insurance pool program" (which has been named the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, or PCIP) to provide health insurance coverage to currently uninsured individuals with pre-existing conditions. The law authorizes HHS to carry out the program directly or through contracts with states or private, non-profit entities.
Emergency Justfication:
In accordance with Section 1101 of The Patient Protection and Affordability Care Act, H.R. 3590 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is tasked with establishing a "temporary high risk health insurance pool program" to provide health insurance coverage to currently uninsured individuals with pre-existing conditions. This temporary high risk health insurance pool program has a statutory implementation date of July 1, 2010. Due to the urgency and the short time frames associated with this requirement, HHS does not have sufficient time to follow the normal notice and comment periods associated with the normal OMB approval process. Therefore, we are requesting an emergency review and approval for this information collection request.
