CMS-10595--Third Party Payment of QHP Premiums and Additional Notices 
for QHP Issuers Data Collection

    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. 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.

Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension of a currently 
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Third Party 
Payment of QHP Premiums and Additional Notices for QHP Issuers Data 
Collection; Use: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. 
L. 111-148) and Health Care and Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 
111-152), collectively referred to as PPACA, established new 
competitive private health insurance markets called Marketplaces, or 
Exchanges, which gave millions of Americans and small businesses access 
to qualified health plans (QHPs), including stand-alone dental plans 
(SADPs)-private health and private health and dental insurance plans 
that have been certified as meeting certain standards.
    In the final rule, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 
HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2017 (CMS-9937-F), we 
finalized 45 CFR 156.1256, which requires QHP issuers, in the case of a 
material plan or benefit display error included in 45 CFR 
155.420(d)(12), to notify their enrollees of the error and the 
enrollees' eligibility for a special enrollment period (SEP) within 30 
calendar days after the issuer is informed by an Federally-facilitated 
Exchange (FFE) that the error is corrected, if directed to do so by the 
FFE. This requirement provides notification to QHP enrollees of errors 
that may have impacted their QHP selection and enrollment and any 
associated monthly or annual costs, as well as the availability of an 
SEP under 155.420(d)(12) for the enrollee to select a different QHP, if 
desired. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is 
formally submitting this renewal information collection request (ICR) 
to OMB for 3-year approval in connection with standards regarding Plan 
or Display Errors and SEPs. The portion of the ICR related to Third 
Party Payments has been removed. The burden estimate fir the ICR 
included in this package reflects the time and effort for QHP issuers 
to provide notifications to enrollees on the ICRs regarding Plan or 
Display Errors and SEPs. Form number: CMS-10595 (OMB control number: 
0938-1301); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector 
(business or other for-profits, not-for-profit institutions); Number of 
Respondents: 374; Number of Responses: 374; Total Burden Hours: 293.
