CMS-10346 Request for Reconsideration

Request for Reconsideration

Note: The QBP administrative review process is a two-step process which includes: 1) a request for reconsideration, and 2) a request for an
informal hearing after CMS has rendered its reconsideration decision. Both steps are conducted at the contract level. This first step affords an
MA organization the opportunity to request a reconsideration of how its Star Rating, for the given measure in question, was calculated. This is
not an opportunity for an MA organization to question how every measure was calculated. A request for reconsideration must be submitted by
the date and time specified below in order to reserve the right to later request an informal hearing on the record.
Instructions: Use only the “Request for Reconsideration” form that can be found in HPMS. To download a copy of the form from HPMS,
select Quality and Performance on the home page, then Performance Metrics. On the Performance Metrics page select Costs and then MA
QBP Rating. One form must be submitted for each contract for which reconsideration is requested. Each form may only be used for one
contract. Complete the identifiable information including all contact information. Please enable Macros in this form. Mark an “X” next to the
measure(s) that the MA Organization is questioning and requesting reconsideration. In the “Description of the Issue” specify any errors that
the MA Organization asserts CMS may have made in calculating the contract's QBP determination. Save the information, please include your
contract number in the filename and e-mail the completed form along with any additional documentary evidence to be considered to
[email protected] by the due date.
Due Date: A Request for Reconsideration of QBP is made by completing the Excel version of this form downloaded from HPMS and e-mailing
the form to [email protected] by 5:00 p.m. EST on XXX. No late requests will be accepted.
