Insurers Urge a Quick Fix After Obamacare Payment Suspension
This article is for subscribers only.
Insurance-industry groups are pushing the Trump administration to resolve a legal dispute that led to the suspension of billions of dollars of payments that help stabilize Obamacare’s markets.
The groups say the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services could quickly resume distributing the risk-adjustment funds by issuing what’s known as an interim final rule for the program. Doing so could help address a legal ruling that led the government to say this weekend it would halt the payments.
