including each proposed extension or

Request: New Collection (Request for a

Information Collection: Marketplace
Quality Standards; Use: Section
1311(c)(3) of the Affordable Care Act
directs the Secretary to develop a rating
system for qualified health plans (QHPs)
on the relative basis of quality and price
and requires Marketplaces to display
this quality rating information on their
Web sites. Section 1311(c)(4) of the
Affordable Care Act requires the
Secretary to develop an enrollee
satisfaction survey system (ESS) that
assesses consumer experience with
QHPs (with more than 500 enrollees in
the previous year) offered through a
Marketplace and requires Marketplaces
to display enrollee satisfaction
information to allow individuals to
easily compare enrollee satisfaction
levels between comparable plans.
Section 1311(h) requires QHPs to
contract with certain hospitals that meet
specific patient safety and health care
quality standards beginning January 1,
2015. The collection of information
from QHP issuers is necessary to
implement these quality standards and
to provide adequate and timely health
care quality information to consumers,
regulators and Marketplaces.
Specifically, for implementation and
reporting for the Federal Quality Rating
System (QRS) and for the ESS, the
collection, validation and submission of
validated data is required as outlined in
§ 156.1120 and § 156.1125. In addition,
QHP issuers must demonstrate
compliance with the patient safety
standards outlined in § 156.1110 which
involves associated information
collection, recordkeeping and disclosure
requirements. It is also necessary to
collect information per § 156.1105 to
appropriately monitor and provide a
process for survey vendors to appeal
HHS’ decision to not approve ESS
vendor applications.
