Abstract: Part D plans and, to the extent applicable, MA organizations will use the information discussed below to comply with the eligibility and other requirements associated with their participation in Part D. CMS will use this information from plan sponsors and States to approve contract applications, monitor compliance with contract requirements, make proper payment to plans, and ensure that correct information is disclosed to potential and current enrollees. The new information collection will allow CMS to ensure sponsors have plans in place to restore business operations following a disruption of regular operations. Medicare beneficiaries will use the information provided by the Part D sponsors to make decisions regarding Part D enrollment as well as grievance and appeal requests. Under CMS-4182-P (RIN 0938-AT08), CMS will make the Preclusion List available to Part D sponsors. The Part D sponsors will perform system programming to maintain the Preclusion List in order to reject a pharmacy claim (or deny a beneficiary request for reimbursement) for a Part D drug that is prescribed by an individual on the Preclusion List. CMS will create and disseminate model notices to the prescribers to notify them of their existence on the Preclusion List, while the Part D sponsors will create and disseminate model notices to the Medicare beneficiaries to notify them that the pharmacy claim is being rejected or denied due to the prescriber’s existence on the Preclusion List.
