The Patient Protection Notice is used by health plan sponsors and issuers to notify certain individuals of their right to (1) choose a primary care provider or a pediatrician when a plan or issuer requires participants or subscribers to designate a primary care physician; or (2) obtain obstetrical or gynecological care without prior authorization.
This collection of information reflects a burden reduction due to the reduced number of impacted plans. Although this ICR may still impact plans in the future, the bulk of the burden associated occurred during the initial three year approval because this ICR only impacts plans which relinquish grandfathered status during the first year that they do so. As time goes on, most of the plans that intend to relinquish their grandfathered status will already have done so. The burden associated with continuing to provide this notice is factored into the estimates for the Summary Plan Description ICR (OMB Control Number 1210-0110).
