CMS Sources Sought: Marketplace Operations Support (MOS)

Notice ID: 230250

CMS, and specifically, CCIIO, is broadly responsible for Marketplace implementation. CCIIO has promulgated regulations for the establishment and practices of Marketplaces in the States, District of Columbia, as well as for various programs associated with the Marketplaces.  Section 1311 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) sets minimum standards for the Marketplace covering key areas of consumer protection.

The plan management function that includes, but is not limited to, evaluation, certification, management, and oversight of Qualified Health Plans (QHP) is a critical activity for all Marketplaces. In all Marketplaces, the plan management function is performed by CCIIO or by a state; however, the specific roles and responsibilities for CCIIO and states vary by type of Marketplace.

The following knowledge and experience are required:

  • Thorough understanding of the ACA as well as related regulations, sub-regulatory guidance, and related CMS policies
  • Understanding of the current CMS Health Insurance Marketplaces and the attributes of the different types of marketplaces
  • Thorough understanding of Public Health Information (PHI) rules and regulations
