Description
The MARS-E (Minimum Acceptable Risk Standards for Exchanges) framework, developed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), establishes privacy and security standards for health insurance exchanges created under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It ensures the protection of sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information (PHI) within ACA-administering entities, including federal and state exchanges, Medicaid programs, and their contractors.
Overview
MARS-E is designed for federal and state health insurance exchanges, Medicaid programs, and their contractors. Its purpose is to ensure these entities protect sensitive personal and health data while complying with the privacy and security mandates of the ACA.
