PCORI FEE EXTENDED FOR 10 YEARS

PCORI Fee Extended for 10 Years

The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) fee has been extended 10 years through 2029.

PCORI will continue to use these fees to fund research to compare different medical treatments and interventions to determine what treatments are most effective with the help of clinicians, purchasers, policymakers and patients. The non-profit organization’s mission is to help doctors and patients make evidence-based healthcare decisions.

Before the extension, the fee expired with policy or plan years ending Sept. 30, 2019, (with payment due July 31, 2020). Insurers of fully insured plans and sponsors of self-funded plans ending between Oct. 1, 2018, and Sept. 30, 2019, were assessed a fee of $2.45 per average number of covered lives.

We will provide more information about the fee as it becomes available.
