Trump administration seeking feedback on how to support grandfathered ACA group plans

The Trump administration is seeking feedback on ways that it can assist insurers and employers in maintaining grandfathered ACA group plans. In a request for information, the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Health and Human Services is asking for additional details challenges to maintaining grandfathered status and the reasons employers and payers continue to offer such plans. As there is “limited information available” about these plans, the departments are seeking to determine if there are “opportunities ... to assist such plans and issuers, consistent with the law, in preserving the grandfathered status of group health plans and group health insurance coverage.”
