Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

currently approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Request for 

Adjustment to the Medical Loss Ratio 

Standard for a State’s Individual Market; 

Use: Under section 2718 of the Public 

Health Service Act (PHS Act), a health 

insurance issuer (issuer) offering group 

or individual health insurance coverage 

must submit a report to the Secretary 

beginning in June of 2012 for calendar 

year 2011. The reported data allows for 

the calculation of an issuer’s medical 

loss ratio (MLR) by market (individual, 

small group, and large group) within 

each State in which the issuer conducts 

business. The PHS Act establishes a 

MLR standard for each market segment 

that issuers must meet. A health 

insurance issuer who fails to meet the 

MLR standard for a plan year must 

rebate to enrollees, on a pro rata basis, 

the difference between its MLR and the 

MLR standard. 

Section 2718(b)(1)(A)(ii) allows the 

Secretary to lower the 80% MLR 

standard in the individual market in a 

State if the application of the 80% MLR 

may destabilize the individual market in 

such State. An interim final rule (IFR) 

implementing the MLR was published 

on December 1, 2010 (75 FR 74865) and 

was modified by technical corrections 

on December 30, 2010 (75 FR 82277), 

which added Part 158 to Title 45 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations. The IFR is 

effective January 1, 2011. Under 45 CFR 

158.301 (75 FR 74864, 74930), States 

requesting that HHS lower the MLR 

standard must submit information that 

supports their assertion that the 

individual market in their State may 

destabilize absent an adjustment to the 

MLR. Much of the information 

requested is currently only available at

of Provider Non-Coverage and Detailed 

Explanation of Provider Non-Coverage 

will no longer require use of the 

beneficiary’s Medicare number as a
