SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act, Public Law 111–148, was enacted
on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care
and Education Reconciliation Act,
Public Law 111–152, was enacted on
March 30, 2010 (collectively referred to
as ‘‘the Affordable Care Act’’).
Section 1334 of the Affordable Care
Act and its implementing regulations
(codified at 45 CFR part 800) direct
OPM to establish the Multi-State Plan
(MSP) Program to foster competition
among plans offering coverage on the
individual and small group health
insurance markets on the Affordable
Insurance Exchanges (referred to as
‘‘Exchanges’’ or ‘‘Health Insurance
Marketplaces’’). Specifically, OPM must
contract with private health insurance
issuers to offer at least two MSP options
on each of the Exchanges in the 50
States and the District of Columbia, in
emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

which issuers may phase in coverage
over a period of 4 years.
Under section 1334(a)(4) of the
Affordable Care Act, OPM must
administer the MSP Program ‘‘in a
manner similar to the manner in which’’
it implements the contracting provisions
of the Federal Employees Health
Benefits (FEHB) Program under 5 U.S.C.
8901 et seq. In the MSP Program final
rule (78 FR 15560, March 11, 2013),
OPM interpreted section 1334(a)(4) of
the Affordable Care Act to require
implementation of a uniform, nationally
applicable external review process for
MSP options, consistent with the
requirements of section 2719 of the
Public Health Service Act and similar to
the process administered by OPM under
the FEHB Program. This process will
ensure that MSP Program contracts are
administered consistently throughout
all 51 jurisdictions that would be served
by an MSP option. Specifically, under
45 CFR 800.503, OPM is authorized to
conduct external review of adverse
benefit determinations by MSP issuers
using a process similar to the FEHB
Program disputed claims process. In
addition to requests for external review,
we anticipate that MSP enrollees may
contact OPM about inquiries or
complaints regarding MSP options,
which may have to be referred to other
appropriate entities such as State
insurance departments, State consumer
assistance programs, and the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services.
The purpose of this system of records
is to provide a central database through
which OPM may conduct external
review of adverse benefit
determinations under the MSP Program,
refer MSP enrollees to other entities
about their inquiries or complaints, and
correspond with MSP enrollees. OPM
will collect, manage, and analyze health
services data that MSP enrollees, MSP
issuers, health care providers, and
others will furnish through secure data
transfer. The information contained in
the database will help ensure that (1)
MSP enrollees have adequate access to
independent review of adverse benefit
determinations, (2) MSP enrollees are
referred to appropriate entities about
their inquiries or complaints, (3) OPM
corresponds with MSP enrollees, and (4)
OPM collects the information necessary
for the enforcement of MSP Program
contracts and implementation of the
program.
OPM will use identifiable data to
create records that are necessary to
facilitate external review of MSP issuer
adverse benefit determinations by OPM
analysts and independent review
organizations. Likewise, OPM will use
PO 00000

identifiable data to create records about
MSP enrollee inquiries or complaints,
which may have to be referred to other
State and Federal Government agencies.
However, OPM and external analysts
using the database for analysis purposes
will have access only to de-identified
data.
