student health insurance coverage is
exempt from the actuarial value (AV)

issuers of student health insurance
coverage to specify in any plan
materials summarizing the terms of the
coverage the AV of the coverage and the
metal level (or the next lowest metal
level) the coverage would otherwise
satisfy under § 156.140. This disclosure

To be recognized as minimum essential
coverage, the coverage must offer
substantially the same consumer
protections as those enumerated in the
Title I of Affordable Care Act relating to
non-grandfathered, individual health
insurance coverage to ensure consumers
are receiving adequate coverage. The
final rule requires sponsors of other
coverage that seek to have such coverage
recognized as minimum essential
coverage to adhere to certain
procedures. Sponsoring organizations
must submit to HHS certain information
about their coverage and an attestation
that the plan substantially complies
with the provisions of Title I of the
Affordable Care Act applicable to nongrandfathered individual health
insurance coverage. Sponsors must also
provide notice to enrollees informing
them that the plan has been recognized
as minimum essential coverage for the
purposes of the individual coverage
requirement. Form Number: CMS–

State Based Exchange (including an
Exchange using the Federal Platform) to
keep an accurate accounting of all
activities, receipts, and expenditures,
and to submit a report annually to the
Secretary concerning such accounting.
CMS will use the information collected
from States to assist in determining if a
State is maintaining a compliant
operational Exchange. Form Number:

rule published on February 27, 2015 for
the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act; HHS Notice of Benefit and
Payment Parameters for 2016 (CMS–
9944–F). These updated requirements
direct agents/brokers to submit

(LOA) are then validated using the
National Insurance Producer Registry
(NIPR) database. Form Number: CMS–
