Abstract:
CMS is requesting that an information collection request to support the development of federal payment rates for the Basic Health Program (BHP) be processed under the emergency clearance process associated with Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), specifically 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2)(i). In accordance with Section 1331 of ACA, the BHP is federally funded by determining the amount of payments that the federal government would have made through premium tax credits (PTCs) and cost sharing reductions (CSRs) for people enrolled in BHP had they instead been enrolled in an Exchange. In order to calculate these amounts for each state, CMS needs the reference premiums for the second lowest cost silver plans (SLCSPs) in each geographic area in a state, as SLCSPs are a basic unit in the calculation of PTCs and CSRs under the Exchanges. Relatedly, the reference premiums for these SLCSPs are critical components in the BHP payment methodology in order to estimate what PTCs and CSRs would have been paid. Similarly, CMS also needs to collect reference premiums for the lowest cost bronze plans to appropriately account for CSR calculations for American Indians and Alaskan Natives. CMS recently determined that it does not have sufficient data from State Based Exchanges (SBEs) to determine the reference premiums for their SLCSPs and lowest cost bronze plans. Reference premiums are foundational inputs into the BHP payment methodology.
