On April 9, 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a Health & Human Services (HHS) Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2019 (final rule). The final rule is the first time the Trump administration issued standards for insurers participating in Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces. The final rule generally gives states more authority to determine the scope of services an insurer must provide.
CMS stated that the final rule was intended to “mitigate the harmful impacts of Obamacare and empower states to regulate their insurance market.”1 The final rule is also intended to “increase state flexibility, improve affordability, strengthen program integrity, empower consumers, promote stability, and reduce unnecessary regulatory burden.”2
