Children and adolescents can create
their own concussion safety messages or
use one or more of the CDC key
messages listed below in their poster:
• Be Heads Up about concussion.

I. Background
This notice announces a meeting
regarding the HHS-operated risk
adjustment data validation process.
Section 1343 of the Affordable Care Act
establishes three programs (transitional
reinsurance, temporary risk corridors,
and permanent risk adjustment)
intended to help stabilize premiums in
the insurance market and minimize the
potential effects of adverse selection
that may occur in the initial operational
years of the marketplaces and market
reform which will begin with the 2014
benefit year. This meeting focuses on
the data validation process for the
permanent risk adjustment program
when HHS operates a risk adjustment
program on behalf of a state (referred to
as the HHS-operated risk adjustment
program). Health insurance issuers must
comply with these risk adjustment data
validation requirements in the first year
of the program, the 2014 benefit year.
On March 11, 2013, we published a
final regulation, the HHS Notice of
Benefit and Payment Parameters for
2014 (also referred to as the 2014
payment notice) (78 FR 15410), that
established the regulatory framework for
the risk adjustment data validation audit
process for the HHS-operated risk
adjustment program. Although the
overall framework for the six-stage risk
adjustment data validation process was
described in the 2014 payment notice,
the detailed processes for several of
these stages have not been specified. We
committed to stakeholder engagement in
developing the detailed processes. The
purpose of this meeting is to provide
information to issuers, states, and other
interested parties about the HHSoperated risk adjustment data validation
process and offer an opportunity for
these stakeholders to comment on key
elements of the risk adjustment data
validation process.
II. Meeting Agenda
The risk adjustment data validation
meeting will provide information to
stakeholders including, but not limited
to, issuers, states, and other interested
parties about the Affordable Care Act
HHS-operated risk adjustment data
validation process and gather feedback
on key elements of the HHS-operated
