CMS–10653 Coverage of Certain
Preventive Services Under the
Affordable Care Act
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:26 Nov 07, 2017
Jkt 244001
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Coverage of
Certain Preventive Services Under the
Affordable Care Act; Use: The 2017
interim final regulations titled
‘‘Religious Exemptions and
Accommodations for Coverage of
Certain Preventive Services Under the
Affordable Care Act’’ and ‘‘Moral
Exemptions and Accommodations for
Coverage of Certain Preventive Services
Under the Affordable Care Act’’ expand
exemptions for religious beliefs and
moral convictions for certain entities or
individuals whose health plans may
otherwise be subject to a mandate of
contraceptive coverage through
guidance issued pursuant to the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act. The
interim final rules extend the exemption
to health insurance issuers that hold
religious or moral objections in certain
circumstances. The interim final rules
also allow plan participants and
enrollees with sincerely held religious
or moral objections to request coverage
that does not include contraceptive
services.
The interim final rules also leave the
accommodation process in place as an
optional process for objecting entities
who wish to use it voluntarily. To avoid
contracting, arranging, paying, or
referring for contraceptive coverage, an
organization seeking to be treated as an
eligible organization may self-certify (by
using EBSA Form 700), prior to the
beginning of the first plan year to which
an accommodation is to apply, that it
meets the definition of an eligible
organization. The eligible organization
must provide a copy of its selfcertification to each health insurance
issuer that would otherwise provide
such coverage in connection with the
health plan (for insured group health
plans or student health insurance
coverage). The issuer that receives the
self-certification must provide separate
payments for contraceptive services for
plan participants and beneficiaries (or
students and dependents). For a selfinsured group health plan, the selfcertification must be provided to its
third party administrator. An eligible
organization may alternatively submit a
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
notification to HHS as an alternative to
submitting the EBSA Form 700 to the
eligible organization’s health insurance
issuer or third party administrator. A
health insurance issuer or third party
administrator providing or arranging
payments for contraceptive services for
participants and beneficiaries in plans
(or student enrollees and covered
dependents in student health insurance
coverage) of eligible organizations must
provide a written notice to such plan
participants and beneficiaries (or such
student enrollees and covered
dependents) informing them of the
availability of such payments.
Eligible organizations can revoke at
any time the accommodation process if
participants and beneficiaries receive
written notice of such revocation from
the issuer or third party administrator in
accordance with guidance issued by the
Secretary, and if the accommodation
process is currently being utilized, such
revocation will be effective on the first
day of the first plan year that begins on
or after thirty days after the date of
revocation. Form Number: CMS–10653
