Comment Letter on the proposed rule, “HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2026”

The Massachusetts Health Connector provided detailed feedback on the 2026 NBPP proposed rule, advocating for key measures that enhance transparency in Marketplace operations and codify the use of silver-loading practices to maintain affordability. The agency also supports incorporating Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) into risk adjustment models to promote equitable access to preventive care. Highlighting the burden of medical debt, especially on vulnerable communities, the Health Connector emphasizes the need for increased education on financial assistance programs.
