CMS, HHS: Adoption of the Methodology for the HHS-Operated Permanent Risk Adjustment Program Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for the 2017 Benefit Year

Notice from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of a final rule adopting the risk adjustment methodology that HHS previously established for the 2017 benefit year. This action is a result of the February 2018 district court ruling that vacated the use of statewide average premium as a basis for the HHS-operated risk adjustment methodology for the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 benefit years. This rule is effective July, 30, 2018.
