Abstract:
As established by Section 1851 of the Act, and implementing regulations at §§ 422.50 and 422.60, an MA-eligible individual who meets the eligibility requirements for enrollment into an MA plan may enroll during the enrollment periods specified in §422.62, by completing an enrollment form with the MA organization or enrolling through other mechanisms that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determines are appropriate. In addition, the authority for requiring this data collection for PDP enrollment is section 1860D-1 of the Act, and implementing regulations at §§ 423.30 and 423.32, a Part D-eligible individual who wishes to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) may enroll during the enrollment periods specified in §423.38, by completing an enrollment form with the PDP, or enrolling through other mechanisms CMS determines are appropriate. We are proposing changes to the current, standard (“long”) model enrollment form which will yield a beneficiary-focused model form to simplify the enrollment process.

Short Statement:
Due to the removal of fields related to sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and ethnicity from the MA and Part D enrollment form, we project a 2 minute (or 10%) reduction in time to complete the enrollment form. Using the reduced time that it takes for an individual to complete an enrollment form (18 minutes or 0.3 hr). These changes were made during the last PRA approval and the updated form resulted in a total of 653,925 hours saved annually,
