The monthly file of dual eligible enrollees will be used to determine those duals with drug benefits for the phased down State contribution process required by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA).
This 2018 iteration proposes a burden adjustment (per response from 10 to 8 hours) due to automated processes with internal controls in place reports are generated related to file submittals or issues. As a result the total burden is reduced from 6,120 to 4,896 hours. Manual intervention is minimal.
The data dictionary has been revised. The changes are non-substantive and have no impact on our currently approved burden estimates. The crosswalk represents the updates/changes between the 2015 and the 2018 versions for Sections 4 thru 7 pertaining to the MMA file.
Changes were made to applicable fields to conform to the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) of 2015 to replace the current SSN-based Health Insurance Claim Number (HCIN) with the new Medicare Beneficiary Identifier (MBI). The social security number justification is no longer required.
