Abstract:
CMS' regulatory authority to require data validation is described in 42 CFR 422.516(g) and 423.514(g). Organizations contracted to offer Medicare Part C and Part D benefits are required to report data to CMS on a variety of measures. In order for the data to be useful for monitoring and performance measurement, the data must be reliable, valid, complete, and comparable among sponsoring organizations. To meet this goal, CMS has developed reporting standards and data validation specifications with respect to the Part C and Part D reporting requirements. These standards provide a review process for Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), Cost Plans, and Part D sponsors to use to conduct independent data validation checks on their reported Part C and Part D data to determine their reliability, validity, completeness, and comparability in accordance with specifications developed by CMS.
