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.

ICR Summary of Burden

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The current burden sets out 625,627,848 responses and 8,683,706 hours. We are revising this estimate to 666,813,366 responses and 6,973,844 hours (see Table 15). Total responses increased by 41,185,518 annually, however the annual burden hours decreased by 1,709,862 hours. The net change in burden reflects the addition and removal of ICRs as well as changes in burden associated with existing ICRs updated to reflect the current numbers of Part D contracts. There was a net increase of 32,697,465 responses as a result of the addition and removal of ICRs from this package. The additional 8,488,053 responses (41,185,518 minus 32,697,465) is due to the increased number of Part D contracts in 2021 compared with the number of contracts in the previously approved supporting statement (942 vs 757, respectively). Similarly, because of the increased number of contracts, there was an additional 47,853 hours (1,757,715 minus 1,709,862) of burden which offsets the net of additional and removed ICRs.
