The information in this collection will be used by the financial review team in order to establish that the MAOs, PDPs, PACE Organizations, 1876 Cost Plans and Demonstration Plans are maintaining fiscally sound organizations.
The reason for the change in this collection document is due to the June 2008 reorganization where the responsibility for monitoring financial condition of Part D sponsors was moved from the MDBG program to the MCAG program. It is noteworthy to say that all organizations required to report will undergo a slight decrease in burden due to having to submit 4 data elements instead of previously having to submit 13. However, due to the fact organizations reporting under Part D are now being added to this collection effort there is an increase in burden.
