Therefore, plan sponsors must not include such claims in their Claim Lists and Summary Cost Data submitted in support of a reimbursement request. Should circumstances related to the availability of ERRP funding change, CMS may issue a new notice announcing approval of ERRP reimbursement request that include claims incurred after December 31, 2011. DATES: Effective Date: This notice is effective December 9, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Mlawsky, (410) 786–6851. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Background The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148, enacted on March 23, 2010) (the Affordable Care Act), included a provision that establishes the temporary Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), which provides reimbursement to eligible sponsors of employment-based plans for a portion of the costs of providing health coverage to early retirees (and eligible spouses, surviving spouses, and dependents of such retirees). Section 1102(a)(1) of the Affordable Care Act PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 required the Secretary to establish the program within 90 days of enactment of the law (by June 21, 2010). In the May 5, 2010 Federal Register (75 FR 24450), we published an interim final regulation with comment period, implementing the program as of June 1, 2010. Section 1102(e) of the Affordable Care Act appropriates funding of $5 billion for the temporary program. The regulation at 45 CFR 149.45(a) states that based on the projected or actual availability of program funding, the Secretary may deny applications that otherwise meet the requirements of this part, and if an application is approved, may deny all or part of a sponsor’s reimbursement request. Under that authority, in the April 5, 2011 Federal Register (76 FR 18766), the Secretary announced that CMS would stop accepting applications for ERRP as of May 6, 2011. II. Provisions of This Notice CMS is exercising our authority under 45 CFR 149.45(a) to deny certain reimbursement requests based on the available amount remaining of the $5 billion in appropriated program funding, and the rate at which it is being disbursed. We are now announcing that any Claim List submitted to ERRP in support of a reimbursement request, that includes one or more claims with an incurred date identified as January 1, 2012 or after, will be rejected in its entirety. Therefore, to avoid such a consequence, a plan sponsor must not submit any Claim List or Summary Cost Data that includes any claim with an incurred date identified as January 1, 2012 or later. As specified in 45 CFR 149.325, a claim may be submitted to ERRP only after it has been incurred, and paid. Therefore, under this notice, and consistent with current policy, if a claim is incurred on or before December 31, 2011, but paid after December 31, 2011, the sponsor may submit the claim, but not until it has been paid. Existing guidance defining the date upon which various types of claims are considered E:\FR\FM\13DEN1.SGM 13DEN1
