Abstract: CMS' regulatory authority to establish reporting requirements for Part C Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations is described in 42CFR ?422.516 (a). It is noted that each MA organization must have an effective procedure to develop, compile, evaluate, and report to CMS, to its enrollees, and to the general public, at the times and in the manner that CMS requires, and while safeguarding the confidentiality of the doctor-patient relationship, statistics and other information with respect to the following: (1) The cost of its operations. (2) The patterns of utilization of its services. (3) The availability, accessibility, and acceptability of its services. (4) To the extent practical, developments in the health status of its enrollees. (5) Other matters that CMS may require. With both growth in the number of participating organizations and the types of plan "packages" available to Medicare beneficiaries, the need for more extensive, in depth, and effective monitoring has increased. Therefore, CMS is requesting a 3 year OMB approval of additional Part C data reporting.
