Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP)

In June 2010, HHS awarded General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) the ERRP contract. ERRP provides reimbursement to participating employment-based plans for a portion of the costs of health benefits for early retirees and early retirees’ spouses, surviving spouses, and dependents. Within the first week after contract award, GDIT HIT stood up the application processing, payment processing, internal controls, electronic data interchange, and program management operations for the system. Within two months, the company built a Section 508-compliant, Internet-accessible secure website that allows plan sponsors to access information about the ERRP program, and a public website used for communicating information regarding the program to the public on a daily basis. GDIT HIT also stood up and runs the ERRP call center to answer customer inquiries.
