Abstract:
On March 23, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 3590, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Public Law 111-148. Section 1003 of the Affordable Care Act requires the Secretary of HHS in conjunction with States, to establish a process for the annual review of health insurance premiums to protect consumers from unreasonable, unjustified and/or excessive plan increases. This requirement takes effect beginning with the 2010 plan year. Section 1003 also establishes a program of grants to states for health insurance premium review. States receiving a grant award are to review, and if appropriate under State law, approve premium changes and provide information to the Secretary on premium increases. As the ACA requires an annual process of premium review beginning in plan year 2010, there is an urgent need to provide States with grant funding to enhance their current processes for reviewing health insurance premiums and to make immediate improvements to their current rate review reporting processes.
Emergency Justfication:
Section 1003 established a program of grants to States for health insurance rate review. States receiving a grant award are to review, and if appropriate under State law, approve rate changes and provide information to the Secretary on rate increases. As the ACA requires an annual process of premium review beginning in plan year 2010, there is an urgent need to provide States with grant funding to enhance their current processes for reviewing health insurance premiums and to make immediate improvements to their current rate review reporting processes. In order to address these immediate needs, HHS announced the Health Insurance Premium Review Grants on June 7, 2010. Cycle 1 of this grant program requires awardees to submit quarterly reports, submit rate review information beginning at the end of the first quarter of FFY 2011, as well as a final report at the end of the award period, currently scheduled to end at the end of FFY 2011. Following the competitive grant review process and awards for Cycle 1 on August 16, 2010, OCIIO intends to extend the announcement to the United States territories as well as the 5 States who have not previously applied for the funding opportunity. Materials for approval are close to duplicates of the information collection that was previously approved in PRA 0938-1092. Minor appropriate changes include due dates and programmatic informational changes in the grant application process. OCIIO is requesting emergency action for this clearance by the Office of Management and Budget no later than August 25, 2010 to ensure that the funding opportunity can be reposted immediately to allow applicants 30 days for response.
