Abstract:
On June 19, 2013, HHS published the proposed rule CMS-9957-P: Program Integrity: Exchanges, SHOP, Premium Stabilization Programs, and Market Standards (78 FR 37302) (Program Integrity Proposed Rule). Among other things, the Program Integrity Proposed Rule sets forth financial integrity provisions and protections against fraud and abuse. The third party disclosure requirements and data collections proposed in the Program Integrity Proposed Rule support the oversight of premium stabilization programs (transitional reinsurance, risk corridors and risk adjustments), State Exchanges, and qualified health plan (QHP) issuers in Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs). The remaining provisions involve program integrity as it relates to the Exchanges, SHOP, and Eligibility Appeals. This final rule outlines financial integrity and oversight standards with respect to Affordable Insurance Exchanges, qualified health plan (QHP) issuers in Federally-facilitated Exchanges, and States with regard to the operation of risk adjustment and reinsurance programs. It also establishes additional standards for special enrollment periods, survey vendors that may conduct enrollee satisfaction surveys on behalf of QHP issuers, and issuer participation in an FFE, and makes certain amendments to definitions and standards related to the market reform rules. These standards, which include financial integrity provisions and protections against fraud and abuse, are consistent with Title I of the Affordable Care Act. This final rule also amends and adopts as final interim provisions set forth in the Amendments to the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2014 interim final rule, published in the Federal Register on March 11, 2013, related to risk corridors and cost-sharing reduction reconciliation.
