June, 2012 Lt. Governor and Insurance Commissioner Mary Taylor Ohio Department of Insurance 50 W. Town Street Columbus, Ohio 43215 RE: Effective Rate Review under the Affordable Care Act Dear Commissioner Taylor: The undersigned organizations are very concerned that the Ohio Department of Insurance has yet to create an effective means for the public to be involved in the health insurance rate review procedure, as required by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The ACA has given the public new tools for greater engagement. It is time for Ohio to come into compliance with rules that became effective September 1, 2011. 45 C.F.R. §154.301 (b) provides: CMS’s determinations of Effective Rate Review Programs (b) Public disclosure and input. In addition to satisfying the provisions in paragraph (a) of this section, a State with an Effective Rate Review Program must provide access from its Web site to the Parts I and II of the Preliminary Justifications of the proposed rate increases that it reviews and have a mechanism for receiving public comments on those proposed rate increases. In addition to this regulation, Ohio committed to the Department of Health and Human Services in its 2010 grant request for rate review capacity enhancement that it would use the money it received, in part, to create a consumer friendly web site. Ohio committed as follows:
We ask that you move forward expeditiously to implement the regulation and keep the grant commitment. At a minimum an effective process for public input requires the following:
Sincerely, Ohio Consumers for health coverage
