Qualified Health Plans (QHPs)
Under the new health insurance law, also known as the Affordable Care Act, insurance plans offered through the Marketplace are known as Qualified Health Plans (QHPs). They are required to include some essential community providers (ECPs). ECPs are providers that serve mostly low-income medically underserved individuals. CMS/CCIIO has posted a list of ECPs to assist health insurance issuers in locating ECPs. QHPs do not have to include all safety net providers in their networks. Direct service providers must reach out to health insurers now if you want to get into their networks for 2014.
