the database will assist in improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of care
delivered by health care providers to the
enrollees by facilitating robust contract
negotiations, health plan accountability,
performance management, and program
evaluation. OPM will use identifiable
data to create person-level longitudinal
records, which are long-term health
records that will allow us to examine
individual health information over time.
However, OPM analysts using the
database for analysis purposes will only
have access to de-identified data.
Likewise, only de-identified data will be
supplied to external analysts.
Information on enrollees in the PreExisting Condition Insurance Plan
(PCIP) had been proposed to be
included in this database. However,
OPM and HHS have determined that it
is unnecessary to include claims from
the Federally-run PCIP in this System of
Records. In its role administering the
program as a whole, HHS intends to
collect de-identified claims level data
on the program. Because OPM manages
the day-to-day operation of the
Federally-run PCIP pursuant to an
agreement with HHS under the
Economy Act, 31 U.S.C. 1535, HHS
intends to make these de-identified data
available to OPM for monitoring and
oversight activities. Additionally, the
original notice proposed including in
this database information on enrollees
in the OPM-regulated Multi-State Plans
(MSP) which will appear on state
exchanges beginning January 1, 2014.
OPM has determined that it is
premature to establish a System of
Records for a program that will not
become operational until 2014.
