Short Statement:
This reinstatement with change includes a significant decrease in burden due to the termination of the risk corridors program, from 19,650,586 to 4,126,850 hours. Also, based on the past years of experience with the risk adjustment program (including HHS-RADV), we substantially reduced the number of issuers participating in the risk adjustment program by more than two thirds, to 650 from 2,400.
