Abstract: Section 1852(e) of the Social Security Act requires that MA organizations (MAOs) have an ongoing quality improvement program. CMS regulations at 42 CFR §422.152 outline the quality improvement program (QI Program) requirements for MA plans, which includes the development and implementation of both a Quality Improvement Project (QIP) and a Chronic Care Improvement Program (CCIP). The 2014 approved packaged reflected a process that required plans to report QIP and CCIP projects’ progress reports annually. This reinstatement package outlines the burden for the attestation process that reduces burden by requiring plans to attest annually that they have an ongoing CCIP that meets the requirements outlined at 42 CFR §422.152, rather than report annual progress reports. MA plans will only have to attest to having a CCIP once the proposed rule (CMS-4182-F; RIN 0938-AT08) that removes the QIP is final.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: We are removing the reporting requirement and burden (-28,560 hours). Consistent with this action, we are also removing the associated forms. In place of the reporting requirement, we have transitioned to an annual attestation requirement. The attestation involves no reporting of information or data. Consequently, the attestation requirements and burden are not subject to OMB approval under the PRA. Our proposed rule (CMS-4182-P; RIN 0938-AT08) would remove the QIP attestation requirement such that MAOs will only be required to attest that they have an ongoing CCIP. This version of the attestation would be subject to the PRA and is added to this package. The net burden is 188 hours.
