Abstract:
CMS has incorporated the following changes to address the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). This includes new attestations and data entry fields to reflect Part D policy changes (i.e., new insulin and vaccine benefits and $0 cost sharing in the catastrophic phase) that are required by the IRA, specifically Sections 11101, 11201, 11401, and 11406. CMS is also modernizing the PBP software by migrating from its current client/server based platform to a new web-based module within HPMS. This initiative is critical, as the current platform technically antiquated. The new PBP module will enhance system security, improve the user interface, streamline the bid submission process, increase system performance, and provide greater flexibility to accommodate unique benefit designs. CMS requires that MA and PDP organizations submit a completed formulary and PBP as part of the annual bidding process. During this process, organizations prepare their proposed plan benefit packages for the upcoming contract year and submit them to CMS for review and approval.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Reduction Due to:
Using Information Technology
Short Statement:
The decrease to burden is attributable to an increase in the number of reporting organizations from 785 to 839, as well as a decrease in the number of formulary submissions from 555 to 542. Additionally, the redesigned PBP, which is now part of the HPMS web-based system, is no longer a separate download for the organizations. Moreover, there is no separate installation, and questions are intuitive and responsive to previous data entry, thus reducing the 7.5 hours per submission to an estimated 5 hours per submission.
