Abstract:
As required by the CMS-9989-F: Establishment of Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans; Exchange Standards for Employers ("Exchange rule"), each Exchange must assume responsibilities related to the certification and offering of Qualified Health Plans ("QHP"). To offer insurance through an Exchange, a health insurance issuer must have its health plans certified as QHPs by the Exchange. A QHP must meet certain minimum certification standards, such as network adequacy, actuarial value standards, and the offering of the essential health benefits (EHB). The Exchange is responsible for ensuring that QHPs meet these minimum certification standards as described in the Exchange rule under 45 CFR 155 and 156, based on the Affordable Care Act, as well as other requirements determined by the Exchange.

Short Statement:
Since finalizing this PRA package and receiving an OMB control number, CMS has updated the burden oF QHP, SADP, non-QHP, and State issuers in our calculations. Currently, this data collection is approved for 317,875 hours. With this ICR, the total annualized hour burden is approximately 235,153 hours. The change in burden is due to the lack of start-up hours that were a part of the previously approved clearance as well as adjustments to the data collection instruments.
