Abstract:
CMS' regulatory authority to establish reporting requirements for Part C Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations is described in 42CFR ?422.516 (a). It is noted that each MA organization must have an effective procedure to develop, compile, evaluate, and report to CMS, to its enrollees, and to the general public, at the times and in the manner that CMS requires, and while safeguarding the confidentiality of the doctor-patient relationship, statistics and other information with respect to the following: (1) The cost of its operations. (2) The patterns of utilization of its services. (3) The availability, accessibility, and acceptability of its services. (4) To the extent practical, developments in the health status of its enrollees. (5) Other matters that CMS may require. With both growth in the number of participating organizations and the types of plan "packages" available to Medicare beneficiaries, the need for more extensive, in depth, and effective monitoring has increased. Therefore, CMS is requesting a 3 year OMB approval of additional Part C data reporting.

Short Statement:
We estimated the number of contracts reporting in 2016, based on the number of contracts reporting in CY 2014 (n=544). The currently approved figure estimates 562 contracts. Organization Determinations/Reconsiderations This ICR now lists just four new data elements to the reporting section: Organization Determinations and Reconsiderations. These new data elements are needed to obtain more information about case reopenings. Increasing the number of data elements from 31 to 35 increased the estimated annual reporting burden for ODR by 9,604 hours. Per contract, the hourly burden increase for ODR was from 137 hours to 155 hours. Payments to Providers Adding Payments to Providers as a new reporting section increased hours by 11,312. Per contract, this resulted in an average increase of 20.8 hours. Enrollment/Disenrollment For the Enrollment/Disenrollment reporting section, the decrease in hours was 9.1 percent based on the percentage decrease in data elements from 22 to 20. This translated into a decrease of hour’s burden from 768 hours to 698 annual hours (a change of -70 hr). Former data elements 1-M and 1-N need to be removed since they no longer apply. This would decrease the reporting burden slightly. The data elements were: Of the number reported in A, the number of enrollment transactions submitted using the SEP Election Period code "S" related to SPAP. Of the number reported in A, the number of enrollment transactions submitted using the SEP Election Period code “S” related to SPAP. Sponsor Oversight of Agents Sponsor Oversight of Agents is being suspended. This 2017 suspension is still planned and would have a significant impact by lowering the resource utilization. The average decrease in hours is 62 per contract.
