Proposed HIX Rules Would Alter PPACA
Proposed HIX Rules Would Alter PPACA
CMS is seeking to overturn any state law that prevents
federal consumer advisers "from carrying out Federally mandated duties or
from otherwise meeting Federal standards that apply to them, or if a
non-Federal requirement would make it impossible for an Exchange to implement
those consumer assistance programs consistent with the Federal statutes and
regulations governing those programs…The CMS says federal officials recognize
health plans face several risk factors in the 2015 plan year including:
additional administrative costs, risk pool effects and uncertainty in the 2015
benefit year related to state renewal of non-ACA compliant plans; the time it
will take to fully assess the risk profile of 2014 enrollees given the
six-month initial open enrollment period; protracted phase-outs of high-risk
pools; and the scheduled decline in reinsurance program payments.
