Commonwealth Health Reinsurance Program; federal risk adjustment program. Eliminates the requirement that the State Corporation Commission consider transfers made under the federal risk adjustment program to eliminate double reimbursement for high-cost cases as a factor when establishing payment parameters for the benefit year under the Commonwealth Health Reinsurance Program.
