Deadline for insurers to submit premium requests for ACA exchange plans is today: 3 things to know

Sept. 20 is the deadline for health insurers selling individual policies on the ACA's individual marketplace to file finalized premium rates with CMS.

Here are three things to know.

1. The Trump administration extended the deadline to finalize premium rates to Sept. 20 earlier this year, the Commonwealth Fund states.

2. President Donald Trump's administration said it will issue ACA cost-sharing reduction payments — which help insurers selling policies on the exchanges to subsidize the cost of coverage for low-income Americans — in September.

3. The uncertainty surrounding CSR payments and whether the Trump administration will enforce the ACA's individual mandate influenced some insurers' drawbacks from the exchanges earlier this year. Other insurers, citing regulatory uncertainty, requested double-digit rate hikes for individual marketplace plans.
