Under the Consolidate Appropriations Act (CAA), health plans are prohibited from signing contracts that limit the precise data and information they can provide to third parties. Every year, plans are required to provide an attestation confirming that they have not entered any prohibited contractual restrictions.
According to Excellus BlueCross BlueShield (Excellus BCBS) we will be completing the attestation on behalf of our fully insured and minimal premium groups for the duration they had with Excellus BCBS coverage in 2024.
Please inform these groups that we will be finishing the attestation on their behalf by the deadline of December 31, 2024, if you hear any questions from them regarding gag clause attestation.
For self-funded groups will be provided with a Certificate of Compliance to submit directly to CMS. Account managers of self-funded groups will also be provided with Certificate of Compliance via email around or on November 15, 2024.
