Dear broker partner,
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (Section 204) requires insurance companies and employer-based health plans to submit information to the federal government about premiums and cost-sharing.
To meet this requirement, employer groups must submit information to Sutter Health Plus regarding the average monthly premiums paid by employer groups on behalf of enrollees and the amount paid by enrollees each year.
The health plan is requesting employer groups submit their information by March 1, 2023. Sutter Health Plus is required to submit aggregate data to the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor, and the Treasury on June 1, 2023, and annually thereafter.
Brokers or their employer clients can complete the online Premium Reporting Form or email the completed PDF form to CAA204@sutterhealth.org.
Providing the Aggregate Dollar Totals on the Premium Reporting Form may be the most convenient for complex calculations. Using the Aggregate Dollar Totals allows the employer group to enter the total amount using their payroll, general ledger or other systems. Employers should consult their finance department for advice.
We appreciate early reporting, if possible, with submissions due no later than March 1, 2023. If you have any questions, please call Sutter Health Plus Member Services weekdays, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., at (855) 315-5800.
If you have already submitted your clients’ premium reporting information, please disregard this notice.
Sincerely,
Sutter Health Plus
