Comments

Plans that use a coinsurance percentage rather than a co-payment amount will not have a value in this field; see instead the corresponding co-payment variable called (PRE_ICL_OONP_COINS_1M).

The CCW constructs the Plan Characteristics File from information submitted by plan sponsors to CMS’s Health Plan Management System (HPMS). Employer and National Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) plans are waived from reporting Plan Benefit Package information.

For those plans that did not report, the value of this variable will be blank.
