The bill adds a new requirement for the Secretary to establish a program for identifying individuals dually enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and an Exchange.

  • Section 1311(c)

    (8) Identification of dual medicaid and exchange enrollments.-- (A) In general.--The Secretary shall, not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this paragraph, establish a program under which, on a recurring basis, but not less frequently than quarterly, the information of each individual enrolled in a qualified health plan through an Exchange is compared through the Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS) facilitated by the Secretary (or any successor system) with the information of each individual enrolled in a State plan (or waiver of such plan) under title XIX of the Social Security Act, or a State child health plan under title XXI of such Act (or a waiver of such plan), for purposes of identifying individuals enrolled in both such a qualified health plan and such a State plan (or waiver) or State child health plan (or waiver). (B) Enforcement.--The Secretary shall take such actions as the Secretary determines appropriate (such as the notification of applicable Exchanges and the Secretary of the Treasury) to ensure that no individual identified under the program established under subparagraph (A) is receiving premium tax credits under section 36B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or cost sharing reductions under section 1402.

    This change mandates the creation of a dual enrollment identification program and adds enforcement measures to prevent individuals from receiving certain benefits if dually enrolled.
