December 2011
Notice from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services announcing that the agency, "based on the projected availability of funding under the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), is exercising its authority under the ERRP regulations at 45 CFR 149.45(a) to deny ERRP reimbursement requests, in their entirety, that include claims that are incurred after December 31, 2011. Therefore, plan sponsors must not include such claims in their Claim Lists and Summary Cost Data submitted in support of a reimbursement request. Should circumstances related to the availability of ERRP funding change, CMS may issue a new notice announcing approval of ERRP reimbursement request that include claims incurred after December 31, 2011."
