0938-AQ85 201610 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0938 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CMS 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Administrative Simplification: Certification of Compliance for Health Plans (CMS-0037-P2)

On January 1, 2014, we published a proposed rule that would require a controlling health plan (CHP) to submit information and documentation demonstrating that it is compliant with certain standards and operating rules adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The rule would also establish penalty fees for a CHP that fails to comply with the certification of compliance requirements.  This second proposed rule would revise the initial proposed provisions in response to public feedback received through the rulemaking process.
