based health insurance exchange is
eligible for coverage under an OPM
health benefit plan. OPM health benefit
plans provide minimum essential
coverage (MEC), and eligibility for such
plans usually precludes eligibility for
financial assistance (including an
advance payment of the premium tax
credit (APTC) or cost sharing reduction
(CSR), which are types of insurance
affordability programs). The OPM data
will be used by CMS to authenticate
identity, determine eligibility, and
determine the amount of any financial
assistance.
Categories of Individuals
The categories of individuals whose
information is involved in the matching
program are:
• Active federal employees; and
• consumers who apply for or are
enrolled in a qualified health plan
through an exchange established under
the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (ACA) and receive
determinations of eligibility for
insurance affordability programs.

Information Collection: Standards
Related to Reinsurance, Risk Corridors,
and Risk Adjustment; Use: The data
collection and reporting requirements
will be used by HHS to run the
permanent risk adjustment program,
including validation of data submitted
by issuers, on behalf of States that
requested HHS to run it for them. Risk
adjustment is one of 3 market stability
programs established by the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act and
is intended to mitigate the impact of
adverse selection in the individual and
small group health insurance markets
inside and outside of the Health
Insurance Exchanges. HHS will also use
this data to adjust the payment transfer
formula for risk associated with highcost enrollees. State regulators can use
the reporting requirements outlined in
this collection to request a reduction to
the statewide average premium factor of
the risk adjustment transfer formula,
beginning for the 2019 benefit year, and
thereby avoid having to establish their
own programs. Issuers and providers
can use the alternative reporting
requirements for mental and behavioral
health records described herein to
comply with State privacy laws. Form
