readiness national survey. In addition,
we will partner with evidence-based
wellness programs for the purposes of
enrolling an estimated 2,000
participants per program. Surveys of
program participants will be conducted
to assess program impacts on health and
behavior. Form Number: CMS–10509
(OCN: 0938–NEW); Frequency: Semiannually; Affected Public: Individuals
and households; Number of
Respondents: 20,833; Total Annual
Responses: 45,420; Total Annual Hours:
18,531. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Benjamin Howell
at 410–786–4942.)
5. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Annual MLR
and Rebate Calculation Report and MLR
Rebate Notices; Use: Under Section
2718 of the Affordable Care Act and
implementing regulation at 45 CFR Part
158, a health insurance issuer (issuer)
offering group or individual health
insurance coverage must submit a report
to the Secretary concerning the amount
the issuer spends each year on claims,
quality improvement expenses, nonclaims costs, Federal and State taxes
and licensing and regulatory fees, and
the amount of earned premium. An
issuer must provide an annual rebate if
the amount it spends on certain costs
compared to its premium revenue
(excluding Federal and States taxes and
licensing and regulatory fees) does not
meet a certain ratio, referred to as the
medical loss ratio (MLR). An interim
final rule (IFR) implementing the MLR
was published on December 1, 2010 (75
FR 74865) and modified by technical
corrections on December 30, 2010 (75
FR 82277), which added Part 158 to
Title 45 of the Code of Federal
Regulations. The IFR was effective
January 1, 2011. A final rule regarding
selected provisions of the IFR was
published on December 7, 2011 (76 FR
76574) and an interim final rule
regarding an issue not included in
issuers’ reporting obligations
(disbursement of rebates by non-federal
governmental plans) was also published
December 7, 2011 (76 FR 76596) Both
rules published on December 7, 2011
and were effective January 1, 2012. Each
issuer is required to submit annually
MLR data, including information about
any rebates it must provide, on a form
we prescribed, for each State in which
the issuer conducts business. Each
issuer is also required to provide a
rebate notice to each policyholder that
is owed a rebate and each subscriber of
policyholders that are owed a rebate for
any given MLR reporting year.
Additionally, each issuer is required to
maintain for a period of seven years all
documents, records and other evidence
that support the data included in each
issuer’s annual report to the Secretary.
Based upon HHS’ experience in the
MLR data collection and evaluation
process, HHS is updating its annual
burden hour estimates to reflect the
actual numbers of submissions, rebates
and rebate notices. The 2013 MLR
Reporting Form and instructions also
reflect changes for the 2013 reporting
year and beyond that are set forth in the
March 2012 update to 45 CFR
158.120(d)(5) regarding aggregation of
student health plans on a nationwide
basis, similar to expatriate plans. The
instructions also addresses recent
applicability guidance issued by the
Departments of Labor, Treasury and
HHS concerning expatriate plan
reporting prior to plan years ending
before or on December 31, 2015. In
2014, it is expected that issuers will
send fewer notices and rebate checks to
policyholders and subscribers which
will reduce burden on issuers. On the
other hand, the requirement to report
data on student health plans will
increase burden for some issuers. It is
estimated that there will be a net
reduction in total information collection
burden. Form Number: CMS–10418
(OCN: 0938–1164); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private
sector—Business or other for-profits and
not-for-profit institutions; Number of
Respondents: 522; Number of
Responses: 3,394; Total Annual Hours:
294,911. (For policy questions regarding
this collection, contact Julie McCune at
(301) 492–4196.)
6. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement of a previously
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: HIPAA
Eligibility Transaction System (HETS)
Trading Partner Agreement (TPA); Use:
The HIPAA Eligibility Transaction
System (HETS) is intended to allow the
release of eligibility data to Medicare
providers, suppliers or their authorized
billing agents for the purposes of
preparing accurate Medicare claims,
determining beneficiary liability or
determining eligibility for specific
services. Such information may not be
disclosed to anyone other than
providers, suppliers or a beneficiary for
whom a claim has been filed. Form
Number: CMS–10157 (OCN: 0938–
0960); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private sector—Business or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 1,000; Total
Annual Responses: 1,000; Total Annual
Hours: 125. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Ada
