Abstract:
For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2017, Health and Human Services (HHS) intends to collect more complete provider data for inclusion on the HHS Essential Community Provider (ECP) list to ensure a more accurate reflection of the universe of qualified available ECPs in a given service area that can be counted toward an issuer's satisfaction of the ECP standard. The HHS will collect data on qualified and available ECPs from providers. Providers will submit an ECP petition to be added to the HHS ECP list or provide required missing data fields to remain on the list. The degree of provider participation in this data collection effort through the ECP provider petition will help inform HHS's future proposals for counting issuers' ECP write-ins toward satisfaction of the ECP standard.

Short Statement:
Reductions in the three-year provider cost burden are associated, in part, with programming enhancements that HHS has made to its online ECP petition process for providers updating their data for inclusion on the HHS ECP list. For instance, during year one (2022), we expect providers to experience a lower burden as a result of programming enhancements made to the facility search feature and the selective display of only the data fields applicable to the respective provider. Furthermore, providers that are renewing their ECP listing will simply enter their ECP reference number from the existing ECP list into the online petition, which will then auto-populate their provider data from the ECP list, so that the provider only needs to update data that have changed, rather than manually enter each data element anew. We estimate that these logic enhancements will reduce the amount of time for providers to complete their provider updates and respond to the new telehealth questions. Additional reductions in the three-year provider cost burden pertain to an estimated decrease of total providers needing to submit the online ECP petition, due to an overall decrease in available ECPs. Fewer providers needing to submit the online ECP petition will reduce the three-year cost burden to the Federal Government with respect to reviewing these online petitions. The total number of respondents have been reduced from 14,958 respondents to 12,408, a total reduction of 2,550. The number of burden hours have been reduced from 22,404 to 9,420, a total reduction of 12,984 hours.
