Question: Please clarify Exchange Subscriber ID reporting requirements.

Answer: For the purpose of cost-sharing reduction reconciliation: If the issuer is aggregating policies in the same plan variation across a year, the issuer should report only one Subscriber ID associated with the member(for Data Element ID 302 "Exchange Assigned Subscriber ID" in the Policy Detail Record) and include only 1 Subscriber ID in the count of "Total number of Exchange Subscriber IDs in this plan variation for the benefit year" in the Plan Summary level.
