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.
