Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] [Official Guidance] May 30, 2015
"[CMS] is developing an Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Cost Comparison Tool ... [which] will allow shoppers in the Federally-facilitated Marketplaces (FFMs) to see estimates of total spending (to include premiums and cost-sharing) across various health insurance plans.... [CMS anticipates] this comparison tool would be available to consumers for the 2016 annual open enrollment period ... [CMS requests] public input on ... [1] the utilization and cost data; [2] use of health plans' cost sharing data; and [3] user input regarding consumer demographics ... [and] whether it would be helpful to make the source code of an OOP Cost Comparison Tool available for use by State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) including the timing and preferred format for providing this information."
