CMS–10662 Administrative
Simplification HIPAA Compliance
Review
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision with change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Contract Year
2021 Plan Benefit Package (PBP)
Software and Formulary Submission;
Use: Under the Medicare Modernization
Act (MMA), Medicare Advantage (MA)
and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP)
organizations are required to submit
plan benefit packages for all Medicare
beneficiaries residing in their service
area. The plan benefit package
submission consists of the Plan Benefit
Package (PBP) software, formulary file,
and supporting documentation, as
necessary. MA and PDP organizations
use the PBP software to describe their
organization’s plan benefit packages,
including information on premiums,
cost sharing, authorization rules, and
supplemental benefits. They also
generate a formulary to describe their
list of drugs, including information on
prior authorization, step therapy,
tiering, and quantity limits.
CMS requires that MA and PDP
organizations submit a completed PBP
and formulary as part of the annual
bidding process. During this process,
organizations prepare their proposed
plan benefit packages for the upcoming
contract year and submit them to CMS
for review and approval. CMS uses this
data to review and approve the benefit
packages that the plans will offer to
Medicare beneficiaries. This allows
CMS to review the benefit packages in
a consistent way across all submitted
bids during with incredibly tight
timeframes. This data is also used to

Prescription Drug plans. Form Number:
CMS–R–262 (OMB control number:
0938–0763); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
672; Total Annual Responses: 7,264;
Total Annual Hours: 67,368. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Kristy L. Holtje at 410–786–

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Administrative
Simplification HIPAA Compliance
Review; Use: The authority for
administering and enforcing compliance
with the Administrative Simplification
non-privacy Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) rules has been delegated to the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS). (68 FR 60694 Part F,
October 23, 2003) 45 CFR 160.308
states, ‘‘that the Secretary may conduct
compliance reviews to determine
whether covered entities are complying
with the applicable administrative
simplification provisions.’’ These
reviews are conducted at the discretion
of the Secretary. Title 45 CFR 160.310
requires that a covered entity provide
records and compliance reports to the
Secretary in cooperation with a
compliance review. Title 45 CFR
160.310 provides that a covered entity
must permit HHS, or its delegated
entity, access during normal business
hours to its facilities, books, records,
and other information, and other
information necessary to determine
compliance, but also provides that if the
Secretary determines that ‘‘exigent
circumstances exist, such as when
documents may be hidden or
destroyed,’’ the covered entity must
permit access at any time without
notice.
The purpose of this collection is to
retrieve information necessary to
conduct a compliance review as
described in CMS–0014–N (68 FR
60694). These forms will be submitted
to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Program Management
National Standards Group, from entities
covered by HIPAA Administrative
Simplification regulations. This
collection is not applicable to HIPAA

To systematically document the
approaches and strategies used by the
first two cohorts of CWCC grantees
(FY18 and FY19 awardees), the
evaluation team will conduct initial and
follow-up interviews with: (1) Project
Directors from Lead Grantee
organizations and Leaders from partner
organizations, and (2) staff from the lead
and partner organizations. These
interviews will take place during site
visits. Each grantee will participate in
four site visits.

evaluation team will ask the Project
Director of each CWCC grant to fill out
a Survey Invitee Template to gather
contact information for leaders and staff
from lead and partner organizations
who the evaluation team will invite to
complete the Collaboration Survey (see
below).
• Collaboration Survey: This
electronic survey will document
perceptions that leaders and staff from
the CWCC lead and partner
organizations have regarding their

organizational/group processes,
implementation activities, and progress
towards goals. This survey will be
administered to staff at all grantee and
partner organizations on an annual basis
during each cohort’s grant period.
• Site Visit Planning Template: Each
Project Director (or their designee) will
complete a Site Visit Planning Template
to schedule site visit activities prior to
each annual site visit.
