Question: What should entities do if one (1) of the contacts on the Form changes after submission?

Answer: Applicable to All Reinsurance Contributions Benefit Years: If changes to contacts (Billing Contact, Submitter Contacts, or Authorizing Official) or billing information occur after Form submission, the Reporting Entity is required to notify the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) through email at reinsurancecontributions@cms.hhs.gov. Changes to the contact(s) do not require refiling steps, but CMS must be informed so that the appropriate individuals are contacted, if necessary. When submitting an information change request and to ensure proper routing, place in the subject line of "Notice of Information Change." The Reporting or Contributing Entity will need to include the following in the email: benefit year, Pay.gov Tracking ID, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and Annual Enrollment Count.
