Materials that do not include information about the plan's benefit structure or cost sharing or do not include information about measuring or ranking standards (for example, star ratings) will be excluded from marketing. In addition, materials that do mention benefits or cost sharing, but do not meet the definition of marketing as proposed here, would also be excluded from marketing.

Lastly, we are proposing to exclude materials specifically designated by us as not meeting the definition of the proposed marketing definition based on their use or purpose. The purpose of this proposed revision of the list of exclusions from marketing materials, as with the proposed marketing definition and proposed non-exhaustive list of marketing materials, is to maintain the current beneficiary protections that apply to marketing materials but to narrow the scope to exclude materials that are unlikely to lead to or influence an enrollment decision.
