Section 1852(e) of the Social Security Act requires that MA organizations (MAOs) have an ongoing quality improvement program. CMS regulations at 42 CFR §422.152 outline the quality improvement program (QI Program) requirements for MA plans, which includes the development and implementation of both a Quality Improvement Project (QIP) and a Chronic Care Improvement Program (CCIP). The 2014 approved packaged reflected a process that required plans to report QIP and CCIP projectsâ progress reports annually. This reinstatement package outlines the burden for the attestation process that reduces burden by requiring plans to attest annually that they have an ongoing CCIP that meets the requirements outlined at 42 CFR §422.152, rather than report annual progress reports. MA plans will only have to attest to having a CCIP once the proposed rule (CMS-4182-F; RIN 0938-AT08) that removes the QIP is final.
Burden has decreased due to the removal of the QIP attestation requirement and the collection now focusing on the single CCIP attestation requirement. Burden has also decreased due to a decrease in MA contracts participating from 750 to 645.
