Multi-State Plan Program Issuer Letter

This is OPM’s annual call for applications and recertification submissions from prospective and current Multi-State Plan (MSP) issuers for the contract term beginning January 1, 2015. The MSP Program was created to bring choice and competition to the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Program’s charge is to make available at least two quality, affordable MSP options in the Marketplace in every State and the District of Columbia. In the inaugural year, OPM certified more than 150 MSP options that are now available to consumers in 30 States and the District of Columbia. OPM also certified MSP options for the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) in four States and the District of Columbia. For 2015, OPM’s goal is to expand MSP coverage to at least five additional States, and to add one or more new MSP issuers or groups of issuers.
