NHeLP Comments on Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Cost Comparison Tool for the Federally-Facilitated Marketplaces

Executive Summary

NHeLP comments on May 29, 2015 CMS Bulletin on Proposed Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Cost Comparison Tool for the Federally-facilitated Marketplaces (FFMs). The Tool adds a critical new mechanism for consumers to evaluate and select the most appropriate plan to suit their needs and may help them more easily weigh the effect of paying slightly higher premiums for lower cost sharing. NHeLP encourages CMS to make the source code for this Tool available to State-based Marketplaces.
