HHS has developed and implemented an Internet website portal to assist consumers with identifying affordable and comprehensive health insurance coverage options that are available in their State. The Department has created a system where insurance issuers and their states log into the web portal using a custom user ID and password validation. The states were asked to provide information on issuers in their state and various websites (see Appendix E). The issuers have been downloading a basic information template to enter data then upload into the portal. Information to be collected on issuers and products can be found in Appendix C. The pricing and benefits data that will be collected can be found in Appendix D. The templates and instructions presented in support of this PRA package as Appendix G are those developed for the prior data collections.
The number of burden hours decreased by 6,925 (from 89,725 to 82,800 hours). Based on historical data of collection activity, the number of respondents (issuer submissions) has decreased from 700 to 500 for small group. Additionally, the total number of respondents (issuers) decreased from 750 to 700. Although PlanFinder submissions are required 4x per year to capture quarterly product enrollment changes, with the RBIS annual model, submissions 4x per year are no longer required. CMS will continue to provide four submission windows per year in case of changes or updates to submitted data, but some issuers may be able to provide data only once for the entire plan year. Issuer burden hours have slightly increased as a result of requirements associated with the addition of the RBIS URL template (Appendix G).
