Abstract: In accordance with proposed §156.280(e)(2), affected QHP issuers would be required to separately bill for (in a separate mailing or separate electronic communication) and instruct policy subscribers to separately pay for the portion of the enrollee’s premium attributed to non-Hyde abortion services. Under this proposal, QHP issuers would be required to send this separate bill in a separate mailing that requires additional postage. If a QHP issuer sends bills electronically, we propose that it provide consumers with the two bills in separate emails or other electronic communications. Under this proposal, the QHP issuer would also be required to produce an invoice or bill that is distinctly separate from the invoice or bill for the other portion of the consumer’s premium that is not attributable to non-Hyde abortion coverage, whether in paper or electronic format.
