Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server FAQ

Guidance for FAQ regarding Edge Server Operations and Reports

Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server

Question: Will the outbound files available in 2014 contain the results of the reinsurance and risk adjustment algorithms?

Answer: Issuers will receive various outbound files/reports on the Edge Server. The first group of reports to be produced will provide file processing results rather than risk score or reinsurance information. A subset of outbound files/reports will be generated when CMS/HHS processes the stored data on issuers Edge Servers and generates reinsurance and risk adjustment specific files/reports. Information regarding timing of reports and details on the specifications will continue to be communicated through the Release Management process.
