This ICR is
approved consistent with the elimination of the LTC Waste reporting
requirements. However, CMS is reminded that any changes to the
Medicare Part D reporting requirements--even if they are
implemented through guidance (e.g. the CMS Manual or the annual
Call Letter) or stem from a statutory change--must be submitted for
PRA approval before they are implemented.

This collection provides CMS with the
opportunity to exercise their statutory authority to require all
Part D Sponsors (MA-PDs and PDPs) to report data related to their
operational costs and services. These data will be analyzed for
oversight and monitoring purposes, as well as potentially
initiating other groups within the agency to perform functions such
as fraud/waste/abuse investigations, audit activities, and
compliance.
