Abstract:
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) was signed into law. Section 204 of Title II of Division BB of the CAA added parallel provisions at section 9825 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), section 725 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and section 2799A-10 of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) that require group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group or individual health insurance coverage to annually report to the Department of Treasury, the Department of Labor (DOL), and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (collectively, “the Departments”) certain information about prescription drug and health care spending, premiums, and enrollment under the plan or coverage. This information will support the development of public reports that will be published by the Departments on prescription drug reimbursements for plans and coverage, prescription drug pricing trends, and the role of prescription drug costs in contributing to premium increases or decreases under the plans or coverage. The 2021 interim final rules, “Prescription Drug and Health Care Spending” (2021 interim final rules), issued by the Departments and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) implement the provisions of section 9825 of the Code, section 725 of ERISA, and section 2799A-10 of the PHS Act, as enacted by section 204 of Title II of Division BB of the CAA. OPM joined the Departments in issuing the 2021 interim final rules, requiring Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) carriers to report information about prescription drug and health care spending, premiums, and plan enrollment in the same manner as a group health plan or health insurance issuer offering group or individual health insurance coverage.
