Abstract: The Social Security Act Section 1852 e and regulations at 42 CFR 152 provide CMS the statutory authority to require Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) (except for private fee for service and medical savings account plans) to 1) implement a chronic care improvement program (CCIP), and 2) to initiate on self-selected Quality Improvement Project per year and submit reports on these program activities to CMS in advance of the MAOs' routine CMS Audits. This reporting process replaces the submission of information via CMS' web-based HPMS QAPI module. CMS needs this information for the purpose of assessing MA contractor compliance with the regulatory Quality requirements. The information will be used for oversight and monitoring purposes, as well as potentially initiating other groups within the agency functions like fraud/waste/abuse investigations and compliance. Respondents are Medicare Advantage Organizations. They provide health care and health insurance to Medicare beneficiaries.

Short Statement: MAOs had been reporting on Quality Improvement Projects (QIPs) and Chronic Care Improvement Programs (CCIP)s using the electronic Health Plan Management System (HPMS). CMS received many comments that HPMS was very difficult to work with when trying to report information on their QIPs and CCIPs. These new forms are less burdensome than using HPMS.
