Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program - IRASA (CMS-10141)

The purpose of this revision is to account for the burden resulting from the submission of an IRASA reconciliation file. In order for CMS to pay the statutorily-mandated IRA subsidy amount for contract year 2023, Part D sponsors must submit data necessary for CMS to determine that subsidy through the IRASA reconciliation file. The burden associated with the IRASA reconciliation file relates to compiling and sending the file to CMS. The reconciliation file will only be submitted for contract year 2023. In addition, the drug management program (DMP) sections have been revised to remove one-time burden associated with establishing DMPs and initial programming of standardized and model communications. As all Part D sponsors were required to have a DMP by January 1, 2022, this burden is no longer needed. Also, there is a revision associated with a change in burden estimate to create business continuity plans to account for the net increase in responses to account for new plans required to develop business continuity strategies and to account for the increased number of expected exception requests. Part D plans and, to the extent applicable, MA organizations will use the information discussed below to comply with the eligibility and other requirements associated with their participation in Part D. CMS will use this information from plan sponsors and States to approve contract applications, monitor compliance with contract requirements, make proper payment to plans, and ensure that correct information is disclosed to potential and current enrollees. The new information collection will allow CMS to ensure sponsors have plans in place to restore business operations following a disruption of regular operations. Medicare beneficiaries will use the information provided by the Part D sponsors to make decisions regarding Part D enrollment as well as grievance and appeal requests.
