چکیده
On behalf of our nearly 5,000 member hospitals, health systems and other health care organizations, and our 43,000 individual members, the American Hospital Association (AHA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) proposed rule establishing the 2017 benefit and payment parameter standards for health insurance issuers and the Health Insurance Marketplaces. The proposed rule includes changes to many standards, including provisions related to network adequacy, acceptance of third-party payments by qualified health plans, essential health benefits, consumer assistance programs, medical loss ratio, enrollment, and payment parameters, such as risk adjustment, reinsurance and risk corridors. The rule also proposes changes to patient safety standards, which we will address in a separate letter.
