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 projects’ 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.
