The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) data collection for MMA implementation will be met by States submitting at least one monthly file. States have the option to submit a single monthly file including all known dual eligibles, or multiple files throughout the month (up to one per day). Multiple files are intended to give the States the opportunity to provide current information on updated dual eligibility status. Multiple submittals should represent only those individual person-months with changes in status. CMS expects that many States will opt to submit a large initial file including the bulk of enrollments for the reporting month, and smaller incremental files providing updates for changes in dual eligibility status (additions, deletions, or changes). States should not submit multiple full replacement files as CMS will not be able to process the files.
The monthly files will address the following program needs.
The monthly file submittals will include all Medicare/Medicaid dual eligibles in the State (full benefit) as well as Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB), Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB), and Qualified Individual (QI) (partial benefits), PROspective (PRO) records, and State Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) applications for Part D subsidy processed through the file creation date. This will allow CMS to establish the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) status of dual eligibles, and to perform auto-assignment of individuals to Medicare Part D plans.
One of the purposes for which the State’s monthly MMA file submission will be used is to calculate the State’s Phase-Down contribution payment. The Phase-Down process requires a monthly count of all full benefit dual eligibles with an active Part D plan enrollment in the month. CMS will make this selection of records using dual eligibility status codes contained in the person-month record to identify all full-benefit dual eligibles (codes 02, 04 and 08). In the case where in a given month, multiple records were submitted for the same individual in multiple file submittals, the last record submitted for that individual shall be used to determine the final effect on the Phase-Down count.
The file may also include records for those individuals for whom the State has made a low-income subsidy determination. A record for each Medicare Part D LIS application processed during the month by the State must be included in the file.
States are strongly encouraged to use the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) subsidy application (SSA-1020) for subsidy applicants unless an individual specifically requests the State make the subsidy determination using a State application form. States should ask applicants if they have already applied for the subsidy with SSA and, if so, urge them to wait for a decision from SSA. However, if the applicant insists on filing with the State prior to an SSA decision, the State must comply. If an individual requests a State determination or refuses to use the SSA application, the State must use its own application and process the case using Federal LIS income, family size, and resource rules. The State follows its process for taking applications. The State is then responsible for notices, appeals, and redeterminations for subsidy cases it has determined using a State application form.
Each month’s enrollment file(s) is sent to CMS between the first and the end of the enrollment month. If a State submits only one file, this submittal must be a complete monthly dual eligible enrollment file. If a State chooses to submit multiple files, a State may either submit one complete enrollment file and submit subsequent files including only file accretions and deletions, or a State may conceivably also submit multiple files throughout the month each consisting only of partial enrollments, as long as the accrual of all those file submission would deliver, by month’s end, a complete representation of all dual eligible enrollment in the State for that month.
If the State submits multiple enrollment files per any given month, once a file has been accepted, any subsequent submissions in the same month will be treated as a unique submission and processed like the first file. For each State file accepted and processed successfully, CMS will send a response file within 24 to 48 hours. CMS will process all files nightly for the deeming and auto-assignment process. Resulting enrollment transactions shall be sent daily with the exception of Sundays to the Part D plans. CMS does not change the 180 bytes of data sent by the States.
Files that are rejected based on data quality validation must be resubmitted to CMS by the last day of the month if this is to be the sole submission of the month.
If a State submits a file on the last day of the month, and it is received on or after our cutoff processing time, the file will be processed the first day of the subsequent month. The cutoff processing times are:
If Last Day of Month Is A: |
Cutoff Processing Time |
Weekday (including holidays) |
6:00 PM Eastern Time |
Saturday or Sunday |
1:00 PM Eastern Time |
Thus if a file is submitted to CMS on January 31, 2013, at 11 pm Easter Standard Time (EST), it would not be processed until February 1, and all DETail (DET) records submitted as ‘current’ for January 2013 would now be treated as retroactive records, any (one month into the future) DET records would be processed as current records. If no file is successfully submitted for the month, CMS will project enrollment from the prior month’s file and apply retroactive updates based on the subsequent months’ submittals for the purpose of the Phase-Down calculation.
The Record Identification Code field will identify if the record is an enrollment detail record (‘DET’) for a known dual eligible or future Medicaid eligible (not to exceed one month into the future), a prospective full dual (‘PRO’) or a Low-Income Subsidy determination (‘LIS’) record. Medically-needy and other spend-down individuals who have not met their incurred liability for the month and are in inactive enrollment status for the reporting month should not be included. Below are the types of records States should include in its file:
Current DET records – States must include a person-month record for each individual eligible for the current reporting month. If a State submits only one file per month, the Medicaid Eligibility Status Field must be populated with ‘Y’. If a State submits multiple files per month, the Medicaid Eligibility Status Field can be populated with a ‘Y’ or ‘N’. For example, if an individual was submitted as a Current DET record in a previous submission during the current reporting month as a ‘Y’, but the State discovered the individual was not Medicaid eligible, the State may correct the eligibility status by resubmitting the individual’s record with an ‘N’ in the Medicaid Eligibility Status Field for the current reporting month within the same month.
Retro DET records – Additionally, all files will include a full person-month record to report information on changes in the circumstances for individuals that were effective in a prior month. These records are referred to as ‘retroactive’ records and will be identified in the monthly file by the effective month and year to which the retroactive record data are to be applied. Illustrative examples of possible situations that would lead to retroactive changes include:
An individual not previously reported who was determined by the State to be retroactively eligible three months prior to the reporting month,
An individual having a change in dual status code two months prior to the reporting month, but for whom the State was not aware of the change until the reporting month, and
An individual who was previously reported eligible but is deceased or ineligible for another reason.
In each of these cases, the state file will include a complete person-month record for that individual for the current month, and a second (or more, as needed) record providing a replacement record for the effective month and year of the change.
For example, in the January 2013 reporting month file due by January 31, a dual eligible that became retroactively eligible in October 2012, the State would submit a full, complete record for each month of eligibility through the reporting month i.e., four records (October 2012 – January 2013). Since this is a replacement record, the record will include data in all required fields; not just those fields that have changed. An individual who was reported eligible for November but was discovered in December to be deceased during the full month of November would have a change record for November showing an eligibility status of ineligible (coded value of ‘N‘) for the November enrollment month.
NOTE: CMS is only able to process records up to 36 months of retroactivity from the current reporting month. Any records older than 36 months will be rejected.
Future DET records – The file(s) may also include Medicare beneficiaries who will be identified as Medicaid beneficiaries one month into the future.
LIS records – The monthly file submittal may also include all State LIS applications for Part D subsidy processed through the file creation date.
PRO records – States should include individuals in state Medicaid programs who are not known to be full dual eligibles, but are Medicaid eligibles approaching an age (64 and seven months or older in the reporting month) or disability status that is likely to lead to a future determination of full dual eligibility. (See Section 2.3 – 2.6 for detailed information on PRO Records).
One of the concerns related to the monthly MMA reporting cycle is the effect on Medicaid-only individuals who transition to dual eligible status and the difficulty in ensuring a seamless transition in drug coverage. This section will clarify a few key elements that are part of the submission, as well as processing, of these PROspective records.
The State should only submit PROspective records for individuals with full Medicaid benefits; i.e., individuals who, if they have Medicare coverage, would be full dual eligibles. Do not include individuals who would only represent partial dual eligibles; i.e., QMB-only, SLMB-only, or QIs. In the Dual Status Code field in the PRO record, include a full dual eligible status code (i.e., 02-QMB plus, 04-SLMB plus, or 08-Other) which best describes the dual status assuming that individual is Medicare eligible.
By including these PROspective individuals on the monthly files, CMS will be able to return information to the States on the response files for individuals already in Medicare and those projected to get Medicare coverage in the near future. CMS will also be able to set up subsidy status and auto-enroll individuals into a Part D plan so their coverage will be in place when they become Part D eligible.
This is a process that has been advocated by many States to help minimize the transitional drug coverage issues for individuals becoming eligible for Part D. This process also provides an opportunity to better synchronize State information on Medicare enrollment.
In order for CMS to successfully process a PRO record the following conditions must be met/elements must be in place:
RECORD IDENTIFICATION CODE field (position 1-3) must contain ‘PRO’.
ELIGIBILITY MONTH/YEAR (position 4-9) of submission must be the CURRENT PROCESSING MONTH/YEAR. CMS will reject past or future dates.
Record must contain a ‘Y’ in the ELIGIBILITY STATUS field (position 10)
Record must contain a valid Social Security Number (SSN) (position 27-35). This field cannot be 9-filled or blank.
Record must contain a valid DATE OF BIRTH (position 108-115). If date of birth is unknown, enter best available data. This policy applies to DET records as well. Records containing no date of birth or incorrect birth date format will be rejected.
Record must contain a valid, two byte DUAL STATUS CODE (position 116-117) of ‘02’, ‘04’ or ‘08’. CMS will reject any other dual status codes.
Based on this coding, these records will be subjected to special processing. This processing will bypass counting for the Phased-Down State contribution but will allow us to prospectively auto-enroll these individuals and to establish an appropriate Part D LIS level. These records will also be excluded from the file acceptance threshold for a 90-percent Medicare match rate.
PRO records may be submitted in any order within the monthly MMA File(s). They may be intermingled with the monthly DET records or separated. CMS will sort the file upon receipt and process each record per the record identification code located in the first three bytes of the record (i.e. DET, PRO, LIS).
The information on Medicare status (for Medicare Parts A, B, C and D) will be returned to the State in the normal response file format (see Section 2.7, Enrollment Return File Specifications for details). For records which do not match Medicare records, the Medicare enrollment information will be blank. For records having current Medicare enrollment, all available enrollment information will be returned on the response file, including any prospective enrollment dates derived from the SSA prospective enrollment information. NOTE: Medicare enrollment systems can only return auto-enrollment information for prospective periods two months prior to the enrollment effective date.
Once an individual is identified as a prospective full dual, the person should be submitted with a Record Identification Code of ‘DET’ in the first month Medicare eligibility is effective. If an individual is identified on the response file as having current or retroactive Medicare coverage, submit retroactive ‘DET’ records covering the missed months of dual eligibility status. Full duals submitted as ‘DET’ records should not be submitted as ‘PRO’ records for the same eligibility month.
Once the State has submitted its PRO records to CMS for processing, CMS will respond by returning a PRO record for each PRO record submitted, regardless if found on CMS Medicare Beneficiary Database (MBD). A State will receive PRO statistics in the FILE SUMMARY RECORD. The layout has been changed to accommodate PRO processing.
Record Return Summary Codes 000009 – 000012 apply to PRO records only. See data element ‘Record Return Summary Code’ (Positions 229-234) in Table 5 for descriptions.
Valid PRO records that have been matched to the database will contain the same information as matched DETail records: Part A/B/C Entitlement dates, Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN), SSNs, End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Part C, Part D, etc.
For matched PRO records, a State should submit a DET record once the period of current dual eligibility has been reached and the beneficiary is assigned to a Part D Plan (PDP). This information is contained in the Eligibility Information for Parts A/B and D in the MMA Response File. If, for example, a PRO record is returned in the December Response File as matched (Record Return Code Field = ‘000000’ or ‘000001’) and the Part A/B/D Entitlement Start Date is 01/01/2013, it is anticipated that a DETail record will be submitted for this beneficiary in the January 2013 file.
Valid PRO records which were matched and are found to be PART A/B entitled within two months of submission, will be auto-assigned to a PDP. Auto-assignment may only occur up to two months into the future. For example, if a beneficiary PRO record was submitted in a December 2012 State File and was found to be PART A/B/D entitled 03/01/2013, the member would be submitted to the deeming process the evening of file submission, and be returned in the RESPONSE FILE within 24 – 48 hours with a deeming onset date of 03/01/2013. The enrollment information would be available in any January created response file, given the beneficiary is submitted by the State at some point in January. This auto-assignment to a Part D Plan (PDP) would occur even if the member is not resubmitted after December’s submission.
If the eligibility date is more than two months into the future, CMS will not auto-assign them until the appropriate time frame has been reached (for this example, any record with a future entitlement date beyond March 2013). Deeming, however, will occur when the record is received for the appropriate time span, regardless if onset is more than two months into the future.
Already existing eligibility / enrollment may be returned for individuals submitted by a State on a PRO record of which a State was otherwise not aware. When that occurs, the State should submit retroactive monthly DET records covering the newly-identified period of dual eligibility in the following month’s Enrollment File submission.
The State Enrollment File(s) will be transferred using Gentran, Managed File Transfer (MFT) Platform Server, MFT Internet Server, or Connect:Direct (C:D) electronic file transfer. The Enrollment Return File from CMS will be transferred to the State using the same electronic file transfer the State used to submit their file to CMS.

A Key field used to corroborate a match between the State’s incoming beneficiary record to CMS’ MBD, which receives this date from the SSA’s Master Beneficiary Record (MBR). The following is the matching criteria logic used:
PRIMARY MATCHING Criteria is based on the following algorithm:
EITHER
SSN 5.0 points
OR
BENE CAN Number (1st 9 positions of HIC) 3.5 points
BENE BIC CODE 1.2 points
AND
BENE DOB CCYY 3.25 points
BENE DOB MM 3.0 points
BENE DOB DD 2.25 points
GENDER 2.5 points
A score of 12.25 must be attained for a record to be successfully matched. If the primary matching is unsuccessful, a secondary matching is entered:
SECONDARY MATCHING Criteria is based on:
First six positions of the Last Name,
First position of the First Name,
Claim Account Number (CAN) or SSN, and
Exact Gender.
An indicator of nursing facility, ICFMR or inpatient psychiatric hospital) or home and community based services. Information about the indicator:
Values are ‘Y’, ‘N’ or ‘H’ – A value of ‘Y’ indicates that the individual was enrolled in a Medicaid paid institution for the full reporting month, or is projected by the State to remain in the institution for the remainder of the month.
A value of ‘H’ (HCBS) is valid for an eligibility month/year no earlier than January 2012, in which a full-benefit dual eligible individual received home and community based services. This includes home and community based services delivered under a section 1115 demonstration, under a 1915(c) or (d) waiver, under a State plan amendment under 1915(i), or through enrollment in a Medicaid managed care organization with a contract under section 1903(m) or under section 1932 of the Social Security Act.
This is a key field in establishing correct beneficiary copays. States need to submit not only accurate current-month institutional status, but retroactive records reflecting institutional status changes in prior months. This is necessary to ensure that there is closure on the Part D plan’s responsibility for copay amounts during the span of coverage. States that submit retroactive records in their files are asked to cover any unreported past changes in institutional status. For example, if a State has reported an individual for the first time as having institutional status in February, even though the first full month in the institution was January, a retroactive enrollment record is needed showing this update.
Information about the indicator:
Value will be ‘0’ for dual eligibles who are enrolled in a Part D plan during eligibility month/year
Value will be ‘1’ for dual eligibles who are not enrolled in a Part D Plan during eligibility month/year
This area of the response file contains both Medicare Advantage Plans, Program for All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) and Demo enrollments offering and not offering Part D drug benefits. The information represents the overall contract/organization within which a beneficiary may have a choice of plans (Plan Benefit Packages or PBPs). If a rollover from a non-drug covering plan into one that does occurs, the enrollment effective date of the MCO would not change but the enrollment periods of the affected PBPs would be updated.
The first occurrence is the active (current or future) or most recent Medicare MCO coverage (i.e. plan enrollment). Presently, this section is populated with Medicare Part C and Medicare Part D Organizations enrollments. The organizations can be distinguished by the first position of ‘BENE MCO CNTRCT NUM’:
H# is for local Medicare Advantage (MA) and Medicare Advantage Part D (MAPD); PACE, Cost Plans, and Demos
S# is for STAND ALONE PDPs
R# is for Regional MA and MAPDs
9 in the first position may denote a Demo Plan; or a Chronic Care Improvement Pilot
E# – an employer sponsored prescription drug plan (began with contract year 2007)
Contract number ‘X0001‘ is for the Limited Income – Newly Eligible Transition (LI-NET) program.
This area of the response file describes the various PBP enrollments within the given MCO periods mentioned above:
The most recent plan enrollment will reside in occurrence 1, followed by historical enrollments.
Presently, this section is populated with Medicare Part C offering no drug coverage as well as offering drug coverage and Part D standalone plans.
It is possible for a beneficiary to have two open enrollment periods, one signifying a managed care plan offering no drug coverage and a PDP standalone. In that case, the MCO contract numbers will be different.
Updated list of values for the PBP ORG CVRG TYPE CD:
NF = Pay bill option was not found for the contract,
3 = CCP – Coordinated Care Plan,
4 = MSA – Medicare Medical Savings Account,
5 = PFFS – Private Fee For Service,
6 = PACE – Program Of All Inclusive Care For The Elderly,
7 = Regional Plan,
8 = DEMO – Demonstration,
10 = Cost/HCPP – Cost/Health Care Prepayment Plan,
11 = PDP Election – Part D Drug Plan Election,
12 = Chronic Care Demo,
13 = MSA Demo – Medicare Medical Savings Account Demonstration, and
14 = MMP – Medicare Medicaid Plan.
This portion of the record will list the Part D Plans which also trigger the MEDICARE PART D ELIGIBILITY INDICATOR to reflect a ‘0’, denoting ‘Part D Enrollment found‘
(This area of the response file describes the various PBP enrollments within the given PDP only periods):
The most active plan enrollment will reside in occurrence 1, followed by historical enrollments.
Presently, this section is populated with Medicare Part C offering drug coverage as well as Part D standalone plans
It is possible for a beneficiary to have two open enrollment periods, one signifying a managed care plan offering no drug coverage and a PDP standalone. In that case, the MCO contract numbers will be different.
Updated list of values Enrollment Type Code:
Values for Enrollment Type Code:
A – Beneficiary was auto-enrolled by CMS (full duals).
B – Beneficiary elected plan (overrides auto enrolled plan).
C – Facilitated enrollment: CMS facilitates enrollment of partial duals into a PDP.
D – System (plan) generated enrollment: the beneficiary is in a plan and either the contract or PBP # is changing and they are rolled over automatically into the new number. This usually occurs at the end of the calendar year (which coincides with contract year), when contracts/plans may transition to new numbers.
E – Plan submitted auto-enrollments.
F – Plan submitted facilitated enrollments.
G – Point of Sale (POS) submitted enrollments.
H – CMS or Plan submitted re-assignment enrollments.
I – Non-MMP Plan submitted transactions with enrollment source other than any of the following: B, E, F, G, and blank.
J – State submitted MMP passive enrollment.
K – CMS submitted MMP passive enrollment.
L – Beneficiary MMP election.
