Abstract:
Provisions 2711, 2712 and 2719A of the Affordable Care Act contain enrollment opportunity, rescission notice, and patient protection disclosure requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The enrollment opportunity notice was to be used by health plans to notify certain individuals of their right to re-enroll in their plan. The affected individuals were those whose coverage ended due to reaching a lifetime limit on the dollar value of all benefits for any individual. This notice was a one-time requirement and is being discontinued. The rescission notice will be used by health plans to provide advance notice to certain individuals that their coverage may be rescinded. The affected individuals are those who are at risk of rescission on their health insurance coverage. The patient protection notification will be used by health plans to inform certain individuals of their right to choose a primary care provider or pediatrician and to use obstetrical/gynecological services without prior authorization.

Short Statement:
The burden for plans and issuers has been reduced by 1,300 hours due to the discontinuance of the enrollment opportunity notice related to elimination of lifetime limits. Burden hours for rescission notice have been reduced by 34 hours (from 300 to 266) due to use of updated data. Burden hours for one-time costs related to patient protection disclosure has been reduced by 1,500 (from 3,500 to 2,000) hours because of a reduction in the number of plans relinquishing grandfathered status in 2013 compared to 2011.
