The Massachusetts Health Connector and Division of Insurance have shared key feedback on the draft 2022 Federal Actuarial Value Calculator Methodology. The comment letter emphasizes concerns over how the current methodology affects plan design, particularly for bronze-level plans, which are increasingly difficult to keep affordable and within federal standards. They also call for greater stakeholder engagement through a “user group” forum to ensure future methodologies address challenges faced by state markets like Massachusetts. With a commitment to preserving affordable, comprehensive health coverage, they urge federal action to refine the methodology and support sustainability in health plan design.
