Recognition of Entities for the
Accreditation of Qualified Health Plans
Department of Health and
Human Services.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
recognition of the National Committee
for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and
URAC as recognized accrediting entities
for the purposes of fulfilling the
accreditation requirement as part of
qualified health plan certification.
DATES: This notice is effective on
November 20, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rebecca Zimmermann, (301) 492–4396.
Deborah Greene, (301) 492–4293.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Section 1311(c)(1)(D) of the
Affordable Care Act specifies that to be
certified as a qualified health plan
(QHP) and operate in the Exchange, a
health plan must be accredited by a
recognized accrediting entity on a
uniform timeline established by the
applicable Exchange. On July 20, 2012,
we published a final rule in the Federal
Register (77 FR 42658) titled, ‘‘Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act;
Data Collection To Support Standards
Related to Essential Health Benefits;
Recognition of Entities for the
Accreditation of Qualified Health
Plans.’’ In that rule, we finalized 45 CFR
156.275(c), which specified the
requirements for accrediting entities to
be recognized for the purposes of
fulfilling the accreditation requirement
as part of QHP certification. We also
established that, effective upon
completion of the conditions at
§ 156.275 in paragraphs (c)(2) through
(c)(4), that the National Committee for
Quality Assurance (NCQA) and URAC
will be recognized as accrediting
entities for the purposes of QHP
certification and that the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) will
notify the public of this recognition in
the Federal Register. As discussed in
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
70163
the preamble to the final rule published
on July 20, 2012, the recognition of
accrediting entities in phase one is
effective until it is rescinded or this
interim phase one process is replaced by
the phase two process.
II. Provisions of the Final Notice
NCQA and URAC met the
requirements and criteria described in
the final rule to be recognized as an
accrediting entity (77 FR 42662 through
42668). Therefore, this notice serves as
public notification that NCQA and
URAC are recognized by the Secretary of
HHS 1 as accrediting entities for the
purposes of QHP certification.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
This document does not impose
information collection and
recordkeeping requirements.
Consequently, it need not be reviewed
by the Office of Management and
Budget under the authority of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
Dated: November 8, 2012.

Acting Administrator, Centers for Medicare
& Medicaid Services.
