CMS shifts to manual reviews as ACA appeals system delayed
Health care officials say a March 31 deadline triggers an automated appeals system but until it is ready a manual review process will be used and hearings may begin soon. CMS is contacting consumers to help them complete applications without appeals. The agency would not confirm appeal counts or timing for hearings, noting gains from fixes to earlier technology problems. Analysts caution the system must be in place before March 1, the ACA enrollment deadline. The ACA aims to extend private coverage to the uninsured via subsidized plans through new marketplaces.

Tax relief plan eyed for Auxiant and Fleck Sales expansion
The proposal would let the distributor combine West Burlington operations into a Cedar Rapids site to gain warehouse space while adding a second floor. If approved for 10 years, partial tax exemptions would average 44 percent annually on new value, with projected increased valuations of 1.3 and 1.4 million dollars generating tens of thousands in annual and total revenue, plus portions deferred as tax exempt.
