Program Area: Distributed Data Collection (DDC) for RA Including HCRP/EDGE Server
Question: Do Non-Grandfathered Individual health plans, scheduled to be terminated in 2014, require placement on the Edge Server?
Answer: Edge servers are used to collect data to support the HHS-operated risk adjustment and/or reinsurance programs which go into effect on January 1, 2014. Therefore, to be considered for these programs, enrollment and claim data submitted must only include non-grandfathered small group and individual market plans, both inside and outside the Marketplace, for plans effective January 1, 2014 or later. Grandfathered plans and large group plans would not be submitted to the edge server.
