CMS issues final list of Essential Community Providers for plan year 2016
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Friday published a final list of Essential Community Providers for plan year 2016, available on the CMS website under “Other QHP Application Resources.” Health insurers use the annual list to identify providers meeting ECP requirements for Qualified Health Plans participating in health insurance exchanges. The ECP hospital category includes Disproportionate Share Hospitals, children’s hospitals, Rural Referral Centers, Sole Community Hospitals, Free-standing Cancer Centers and Critical Access Hospitals. Qualifying hospitals should confirm they are on the list and report any errors to the CMS regional office.
