Plaintiff Common Ground Healthcare Cooperative claims that Defendant United States has not made cost-sharing reduction reimbursements on a timely and periodic basis for the 2017 or 2018 benefit years to which it and other Qualified Health Plan "QHP" issuers such as your organization are entitled under the Affordable Care Act. Section 1402 of the Affordable Care Act established a cost-sharing reduction program that applied to insurers who offered QHPs on the Affordable Care Act’s insurance exchanges. The cost-sharing reduction program provides that QHP issuers must pay a portion of eligible insureds’ out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, co-pays, and similar expenses, thereby reducing the amount eligible insureds must pay. Section 1402 further states that the Secretaries of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) and the Treasury “shall make periodic and timely payments to the [QHP] issuer equal to the value of the reductions.” Beginning in 2014, the United States began making these cost-sharing reduction reimbursements, but then ceased paying them in 2017 and continues to not pay them.
