Abstract: Given the increased importance of the accuracy of our Medicare Advantage risk adjustment methodology, we amended sec. 422.310 in August of 2008 to announce that CMS would collect data from MA organizations regarding each item and service provided to an MA plan enrollee. This would allow CMS to incorporate the Medicare Advantage utilization in the development of risk adjustment models for the Medicare Advantage program.
