Capital Blue Cross is preparing to submit the CAA Gag Clause Prohibition Compliance Attestation (GCPCA) on behalf of fully-insured and small business ASO (5-99) group customers. Those groups do not have to take any action for this submission.
Self-funded ASO groups are also required to submit the GCPCA. However, Capital is offering an option for self-funded ASO group customers to elect to have Capital submit a GCPCA on their behalf. Self-funded ASO group customers will receive communications in the coming days with details about the opt-in process and deadline should they choose to have Capital submit an attestation on their behalf.
Self-funded ASO group customers electing to have Capital submit an attestation on their behalf will need to complete an online form to opt in and agree to certain terms and conditions by November 22, 2023. This deadline allows our teams time to prepare files and complete our submission to CMS prior to the December 31, 2023 deadline. There is no charge for this service, and we will issue an update on our CAA page when the submission is complete.
Thank you for your collaboration as we work through the complexities of this CAA requirement. We appreciate your business and working with you to help our respective clients and customers. Please direct any questions to your legal counsel or Account Executive.
Important notes: This form must be completed by an authorized employee of the group and cannot be completed by a producer. Capital’s reporting on behalf of our self-funded ASO group customers does not transfer those groups’ compliance obligations to Capital.
If you have any questions about content in this email, please contact your account executive.
