Abstract:
CMS has a responsibility to its Medicare beneficiaries to ensure that care provided by Medicare Advantage (MA) contracts to CMS is of high quality and conforms to currently acceptable standards of medical care. CMS accomplishes this through the collection, analysis and dissemination of HEDIS data, the most widely used standardized clinical performance measurement set in managed care. Since January 1997, Medicare managed care contracts have been required to annually report quality of care performance measures from HEDIS. In April 1997, CMS began working with NCQA to implement HEDIS data collection directly into the Medicare managed care program. It is critical to the agency's mission that CMS continues to collect and disseminate information that will help beneficiaries choose among health plans; information that contributes to better health care through the identification of quality improvement opportunities; and provides for proper oversight and management of the Medicare program. These data are used in external CMS information products issued to beneficiaries, and are published on the CMS public website. These data are also made publicly available through public use files (PUFs) posted on the CMS website. CMS relies heavily on HEDIS data for contractor surveillance and assessment activities. It is critical to the agency's mission that CMS continues to collect and disseminate information that will help beneficiaries choose among health plans; information that contributes to better health care through the identification of quality improvement opportunities; and provides for proper oversight and management of the Medicare program.

Short Statement:
The increased hours and wages are due to the increased number of contracts from 483 plans to 576 contracts. Also, there is increased quality assurance in the HEDIS? data submission and corresponding increase in the labor categories for the contracts for the medical review technologist and a database administrator. The increased quality assurance is because HEDIS? measures are used for the CMS Star Ratings that are publicly reported and for determining the ratings for the Quality Bonus Payments.
