CMS is soliciting public comments on strategies that would allow enrollees to purchase health insurance across state lines in an effort to increase competition and improve affordability for consumers.

The request for information (RFI) follows a 2017 executive order directing CMS to explore cross-border insurance options, “consistent with law,” that would tamp down premiums and offer more options for consumers to choose quality coverage.

“Americans are in desperate need of more affordable health insurance options,” said CMS Administrator Seema Verma. “Eliminating the barriers to selling health insurance coverage across state lines could help provide access to a more competitive and affordable health insurance market.”
