Summary

A step-by-step explanation of the Plan ID Crosswalk Template: what it does, who must complete it, and why prior-year templates and state authorization matter for QHP certification.

The Plan ID Crosswalk Template maps prior-year plan and service-area combinations to plan IDs for the upcoming plan year as part of the Qualified Health Plan (QHP) application process. "Among these templates is the Plan ID Crosswalk Template," the Presenter explains, and notes that the template is one required component of an issuer's QHP application submitted under CMS guidelines.

The template is used to facilitate enrollment transactions for existing enrollees who do not actively select a different QHP during open enrollment. Issuers should understand the crosswalk's operational role and ensure they have prior-year templates available before beginning the crosswalk process.
