Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server
Question: If an issuer adds plans that are effective after January 1, 2015, when should that issuer 1) complete EDGE server provisioning, 2) submit test files and 3) submit production files?
Answer: Issuers who have eligible 2014 plans must register and provision an EDGE server by November 21, 2014. If an issuer does not have any eligible plans until 2015, they may register and provision an EDGE server in the early part of 2015 but would not be expected to submit enrollment or claims data to the production zone until the first quarter of 2015. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will provide more information on the timing of registration and provisioning for issuers with plans that first become eligible in 2015 later this year.
