5. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: Health Care
Reform Insurance Web Portal
Requirements 45 CFR part 159; Use: In
accordance with the provisions of the
ACA referenced above, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services created a Web site called
healthcare.gov to meet these and other
provisions of the law, and data
collection was conducted for six months
based upon an emergency information
collection request. The interim final rule
published on May 5, 2010 served as the
emergency Federal Register notice for
the prior information collection request.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) reviewed the request under
emergency processing and approved it
on April 30, 2010.
CMS updated the web portal system
where state Departments of Insurance
and issuers log in using a custom user
ID and password validation. The states
are asked to provide information on
issuers in their state and various Web
sites maintained for consumers. The
issuers are also tasked with providing
information on their major medical
insurance products and plans. They are
ultimately given the choice to download
a basic information template to enter
data then upload into the web portal; to
manually enter data within the web
portal itself; or to submit .xml files
containing their information. Once the
states and issuers submit their data, they
will receive an email notifying them of
any errors, and that their submission
was received.
CMS mandates that issuers verify and
update their information on a quarterly
basis and requests that States verify
State-submitted information on an
annual basis. In the event that an issuer
enhances its existing plans, proposes
new plans, or deactivates plans, the
organization would be required to
update the information in the web
portal. Changes occurring during the
three month quarterly periods will be
allowed utilizing effective dates for both
the plans and rates associated with the
plans. Form Number: CMS–10320 (OMB
control number: 0938–1086); Frequency:
Annually, Quarterly; Affected Public:
State, Local, and Tribal Governments;
Number of Respondents: 305; Total
Annual Responses: 5,500; Total Annual
Hours: 89,725. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Kim
Heckstall at 410–786–1647).

6. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of 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, non-claims
costs, Federal and State taxes and
licensing and regulatory fees, the
amount of earned premium, and
beginning with the 2014 reporting year,
the amounts related to the reinsurance,
risk corridors, and risk adjustment
programs established under sections
1341, 1342, and 1343, respectively, of
the Affordable Care Act. 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). Each issuer is required to
submit annually MLR data, including
information about any rebates it must
provide, on a form prescribed by CMS,
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.
Under Section 1342 of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act and
implementing regulation at 45 CFR part
153, issuers of qualified health plans
(QHPs) must participate in a risk
corridors program. A QHP issuer will
pay risk corridors charges or be eligible
to receive payments based on the ratio
of the issuer’s allowable costs to the
target amount. Each QHP issuer is
required to submit an annual report to
CMS concerning the issuer’s allowable
costs, allowable administrative costs,
premium, and proportion of market
premium in QHPs. Risk corridors
premium information that is specific to
an issuer’s QHPs is collected through a
separate plan-level data form, which is
included in this information collection.
Additionally, each QHP issuer is
required to maintain for a period of ten
years all documents, records and other
evidence sufficient to enable the

evaluation of the issuer’s compliance
with applicable risk corridors standards.
On May 2, 2017, CMS published a 60day notice in the Federal Register (82
FR 20481) for the public to submit
written comments on this information
collection; the public comment period
closed on July 3, 2017. As part of the 60day notice, CMS updated its annual
burden hour estimates to reflect the
actual numbers of submissions, rebates
and rebate notices.
CMS received a total of six comments
on a number of specific issues regarding
the notice of the revised MLR PRA
package. CMS has taken into
consideration all of the comments and
has modified the information collection
instruments and instructions (the 2016
MLR Annual Reporting Form and
Instructions; no comments were
submitted on the 2016 Risk Corridors
Plan-Level Data Form and Instructions)
in order to correct errors and to provide
additional clarifications. These
modifications do not affect the
previously estimated burden hours or
costs. Form Number: CMS–10418 (OMB
Control Number: 0938–1164);
Frequency: Annually; Affected Public:
Private Sector, Business or other forprofits and not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 545; Number
of Responses: 2,532; Total Annual
Hours: 200,597. (For policy questions
