Abstract: This provision is mandated by the Affordable Care Act, section 3309. To implement this provision, CMS needs data from the States, identifying full benefit dual-eligible individuals who are receiving home and community-based services. The States will provide these data as a new data value on their monthly MMA Phase Down report. These data are not available from any other source. CMS will use these new data to set the affected beneficiaries' Medicare Part D copayment to zero.
