Enrollment and Eligibility (ENR) FAQ

Guidance for FAQ regarding Notices and Issuer Notices

Program Area: Enrollment and Eligibility (ENR)

Question: Do provider grace period notice letters need to be generated for every one of a subscriber's claims or can a single letter be generated by a provider for all subscribers that have delinquent claims for that provider practice?

Answer: It is required that the QHP Issuer inform each provider that an enrollment group is in a grace period, which may cause pended and/or denied claims. Guidance can be found in 45 CFR 45 156.270(d)(3) and Letter to Issuers dated 03/01/2013.
