Given the increased importance of the accuracy of our Medicare Advantage risk adjustment methodology, we amended ? 422.310 in August of 2008 to announce that CMS would collect data from MA organizations regarding each item and service provided to an MA plan enrollee. This would allow CMS to incorporate the Medicare Advantage utilization in the development of risk adjustment models for the Medicare Advantage program.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
