and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of proposed

Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this

Insurance Flexibility and Accountability
(HIFA) Evaluation; Use: The HIFA
initiative sought to increase health

through a flexible waiver process

Employer-Sponsored Insurance (ESI).
Testing whether that approach reduces
the rate/number of uninsured is
critically important to CMS. The
proposed survey of HIFA enrollees in
New Medico and Oregon would provide
the only data available to test certain
fundamental HIFA effects, especially
with reference to reduction of the
uninsured population, the effectiveness
of premium assistance for ESI and the
possibility of crowd-out of private
coverage. Form Number: CMS–10262
