Text of CMS FAQ on Third Party Payments of Premiums for Qualified Health Plans in the Marketplaces (PDF)
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] [Official Guidance] Feb. 9, 2014
"Q1: Does the November 4, 2013 FAQ apply to QHP premium and cost sharing payments on behalf of QHP enrollees from Indian tribes, tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, and state and federal government programs or grantees (such as the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program)? A1: No.... QHP issuers and Marketplaces are encouraged to accept such payments.... Q2: Does the November 4, 2013 FAQ apply to QHP premium and cost sharing payments on behalf of QHP enrollees from private, not-for-profit foundations? A2: No. The concerns addressed in the November 4, 2013 FAQ would not apply to payments from private, not-for-profit foundations if: (a) they are described in [Q&A 1, above], or (b) if they are made on behalf of QHP enrollees who satisfy defined criteria that are based on financial status and do not consider enrollees' health status. In situation (b), CMS would expect that premium and any cost sharing payments cover the entire policy year."
