HHS makes its move

Via email from our friends at Cornerstone regarding next year's individual health insurance market:

The Bureauweenies in DC© have published their "Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2019," which includes another reprieve for Transitional ("Grandmothered") plans for another year, as well as info on:

• Qualified Health Plan (QHP) Certification Standards
• Exemptions
• Risk Adjustment
• Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) Program Integrity
• Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs)
• Medical Loss Ratio

Among other items. There's also additional guidance on those underwhelming SHOP plans (oh, goody).
