In five selected states, GAO determined that the separate State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) plans were generally comparable to the benchmark plans selected by states in 2012 as models for the benefits that will be offered through qualified health plans (QHP) in 2014. The plans were comparable in the services they covered and the services on which they imposed limits, although there was some variation. For example, in coverage of hearing and outpatient therapy services, the benchmark plan in one of the five states–Kansas–did not cover hearing aids nor hearing tests, while the CHIP plans in all states covered at least one of these services. Similarly, two states’ CHIP plans and three states’ benchmark plans did not cover certain outpatient therapies–known as habilitative services–to help individuals attain or maintain skills they had not learned due to a disability. States’ CHIP and benchmark state plans were also similar in terms of the services on which they imposed day, visit, or dollar limits. Plans most commonly imposed limits on outpatient therapies and pediatric dental, vision, and hearing services. Officials in all five states expect that CHIP coverage, including limits on these services, will remain relatively unchanged in 2014, while QHPs offered in the exchanges will be subject to certain Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requirements, such as the elimination of annual dollar limits on coverage for certain services.
