1. Introduction

   1. Document Overview

The Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) State User Guide (SUG) provides information for all of the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the US Territory Medicaid Agency users regarding the use of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug System (MARx). CMS developed the SUG specifically for individuals with the “state user” role in MARx.

The SUG provides instructions for use of the MARx User Interface (UI) System, including screenshots and screen content descriptions. States may use the MARx UI to obtain online Medicare eligibility, enrollment, and prescription drug information for beneficiaries.

Beginning with the May 2017, Version 6.0, the SUG also contains information about the data files that are exchanged between the states and CMS to submit the monthly dually eligible enrollment, and to request eligibility, entitlement, and enrollment information.

2. Document Organization

3. Contacting the MAPD Help Desk

The MAPD Help Desk provides technical system support to states for the use of the MARx UI and file exchanges.

Contact the MAPD Help Desk at [email protected] or 1-800-927-8069.

Visit the MAPD Help Desk website at http://go.cms.gov/mapdhelpdesk.

2. Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug User Interface (MARx UI) System

This section provides information necessary to conduct online operations in the MARx UI:

• Getting Started.

• Using the MARx UI Screens.

• Navigating the MARx UI.

• Viewing Beneficiary Information

1. Getting Started

A new state user must follow the steps below to be granted access to MARx UI:

• Register for a User ID in the Identity Management (IDM) system.

• Request the state user role for appropriate access to MARx UI.

• Log into MARx UI as a state user.

1. Register in IDM

CMS has established the Identity Management (IDM) system to provide MAPD Business Partners with a means to apply for, obtain approval, and receive a single User ID they can use to access one (1) or more CMS applications.

For more information about IDM, visit the IDM page on the CMS.gov website at this link:

https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/CMS-Information-Technology/IdentityManagement/IDM-Overview.

In the left navigation panel, click the Guides and Documentation link and review the CMS IDM User Guide for complete instructions on registering in IDM, performing Remote Identity Proofing (RIDP), and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).

Note: IDM has password requirements that are noted when entering your password. MARx UI has an additional requirement limiting the password to exactly 8 characters and cannot contain any special characters.

2. Request the State User role for MARx UI

To fulfill security goals, MARx UI is a role-based system that provides functionality and data filtering based on the user role.

The state users’ role is for an individual who works for or on behalf of a state Medicaid agency. State users can access Medicare eligibility, Low-Income subsidy (LIS) status, and detailed health and drug Plan enrollment information at a beneficiary level.

Below are the key steps to request a state user role for MARx UI:

1. After you have created your IDM User ID and password, navigate to the CMS Enterprise Portal: https://portal.cms.gov.

2. Enter your User ID and password and check the box, “I agree to the Terms & Conditions.”

3. On the My Portal page, select + Add Application.

4. The Request Application Access screen is displayed; Select an Application for MARx UI in the ‘MARx – Medicare Advantage & Prescription Drug System’ box. See Figure 2-1.

Figure 2‑1 Request Access to MARx UI

5. Select the MA state/territory user role from the Select a Role: drop-down menu in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2‑2: Request New Application Access

6. Complete “Identity Verification” by selecting Launch. Read through the information on the next screen (Step #1) and select Next. “Accept Terms & Conditions” on Step 2. Enter and/or verify your information on the next page (Step #3). Once your identity has been verified, return to the “Request Application Access” page.

7. Complete Step 4 (Enter Business Contact Information), Step 5 (Enter Role Details), Step 6 (Enter Reason for Request).

8. Upon approval of your request, you will have access to the MARx UI.

Note: These instructions are outlined in more detail on pages 9 – 15 in the CMS Enterprise Portal User Guide.

3. Logging into MARx UI as a State User

1. Upon receiving the confirmation email of access to MARx UI, navigate to the MARx URL: https://marx.cms.hhs.gov.

2. Accept the Terms and Conditions.

3. Enter your IDM User ID and password.

4. Obtain and enter your MFA code.

5. The User Security Role Selection (M002) screen is presented with the state user role preselected.

2. Using the MARx UI Screens

   1. General Properties of Screens

MARx UI screens share many properties. Once users understand the screens’ organization, they can access information quickly and easily.

There are two main types of general screen layouts: primary and secondary. The principal differences between a primary window and a secondary window are the header design and content and how the screens are navigated. A third special screen type, the log-out window, remains in the background for the duration of the session.

2. Common Features of the Screens

Below the headings, most of the screens are in the same format. The top of the screen contains a title line with the following information:

• Screen name, which describes the screen’s purpose.

• Primary screen’s name reflects the navigation to the screen using the menu and submenu.

• Screen identifier, which starts with an M. This identifier is useful when asking for help, reporting a problem to the MAPD Help Desk, or using the SUG.

• User ID.

• User’s current role.

• Current date.

• [Print] and [Help] buttons (and the [Close] and other buttons for secondary windows).

The message line appears below the title line. Error messages display in red and success messages display in green. If there is no message, this area of the screen is blank.

Many screens include instructions at the top, which are displayed on the screen with a yellow background to provide information on using the screen. Additional information is available by clicking on the [Help] button. A screen may contain input (data entry fields), output (information fields), and links to other screens and tables, etc.

3. Common Characteristics of the Screens

Screens may carry out one (1) or more of the following functions:

• Find specific information.

• Display information.

• Provide links/buttons to additional functions.

Many screens contain fields that the user must populate and buttons that the user must click on to carry out an action. A red asterisk (*) appears next to an input field label to indicate that it is required. If more than one of those fields is required, a red plus sign (+) appears next to field labels.

Sometimes there are additional rules regarding the combination of acceptable fields; those rules are often indicated in instructions on the screen.

There are different options for entering information into a field:

• Text entry: Most fields, such as beneficiary identifier or contract, allow the user to type in the information.

• Dropdown list: Some fields, such as file type, provide a list of values from which to select. The user clicks on the down arrow next to the field to display the list, and then clicks on a value to select it.

• Radio buttons: The user chooses one of the items in a group by clicking on the circle next to that item.

• Check boxes: The user selects any number of the items in a group by clicking on the box next to each item.

Some fields are initialized with default values. For example, date fields are often initialized with the current date. The information that the user enters in a field is validated to ensure the request is valid, and an error message is displayed to inform the user of an error.

4. Typographical Conventions

3. Navigating the MARx UI

   1. How Do I Get Where I Want To Go?

The user has access to certain functions/tasks depending on their role. See Table 2-4 for the names of the main menu items for state users.

Table 2‑4: Main Menu Items

Menu Item	Description
|Welcome|	Messages, current payment month, and calendar.
|Beneficiaries|	Search for beneficiaries and view beneficiary information.

The MARx UI uses the drill-down method. This means that the user starts at a very high level, and drills down to more specific detailed information.

2. Navigating Menus, Sub-menus, and Screens

The menus and sub-menus all work in the same way, as follows: the first view of the MARx UI main menu appears with the |Welcome| menu item highlighted on the screen.

When the user selects an item from the MARx UI main menu by clicking on the general area, e.g., the |Beneficiaries| menu item, the screen changes.

• The selected menu item; in this case, the |Beneficiaries| menu item, is highlighted in yellow on the screen.

• The associated submenu displays just below the main menu, the first item in the submenu is selected and highlighted in yellow on the screen as well, by default, and the associated screen; in this case, the Beneficiaries: MCO (M201) displays in the form area.

• To view any of the other selections, click the menu or submenu item, e.g. the |Eligibility| menu item, to see the associated screen.

After accessing a screen, the user may search to find information about a particular beneficiary or month. The user can assess more detail by clicking on links and/or buttons that lead to additional screens.

3. Error Message Screens

If a screen is unavailable for display, the screen displays “Error 404 Page Not Found” notifying the user of the problem. If a time-out occurs during an attempt to display a screen, the screen displays “Error 408: Your request has timed out” notifying the user of the problem.

4. Screens Available for the State User

MARx UI enables state users to access enrollment, eligibility, and 4Rx information for beneficiaries. Table 2-5 lists the screens that the state user can view.

State users are not given access to the Payment, Adjustments, or Premium screens. Information is available for enrollments from the start of the program.

All beneficiary, contract, and user information in the screen snapshots in this document are fictional. Names and Social Security Numbers do not identify any person living or dead. Claim numbers start with ‘997,’ ‘998,’ or ‘999’ because those numbers are never assigned. On certain screens, if no end date displays for the subsidy period, this does not mean the beneficiary’s status is terminated; rather, a blank Subsidy End date means that the status rolled over to the current year.

The MARx UI meets U.S. Regulations, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998, requiring all U.S. Federal agencies to make their Information Technology accessible to their employees and customers with disabilities.

The System meets the following criteria for users employing assisting technologies, such as screen readers:

• Text equivalents are provided for non-text elements such as graphics.

• All information conveyed with color is also available without color.

• Web-based reporting tools and Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) generated data support the use of row and column headings.

• HTML 4 tagging format is used.

• The System is designed to allow users to skip repetitive navigation links. A link, which is only visible with a screen reader, is placed at the start of the page. When clicked, the link skips over the menu and submenu.

4. Viewing Beneficiary Information

   1. Finding a Beneficiary

To find information about a beneficiary who is enrolled in a contract, either currently, in the past, or in the future, the user accesses the Beneficiaries: Find (M201) screen. Once the beneficiary is located, the user can view information on that beneficiary.

STEP 1: Accessing the Beneficiaries: Find (M201) Screen

From the main menu, the user clicks on the |Beneficiaries| menu item. The |Find| submenu item is already selected and displays the Beneficiaries: Find (M201) screen as shown in Figure 2-5. It is described in Table 2-9, with screen messages provided in Table 2-10.

STEP 2: Using the Beneficiaries: Find (M201) Screen

The MARx UI allows a user with the state user role to:

• Search for beneficiaries by claim number OR last name, first name, and date of birth (DOB). Note: The state user is not required to enter the contract number or other fields when searching with the name and DOB.

• View detailed Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) information with historical information, including valid and audited periods and denied LIS information.

• View detailed Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) information for both Medical and Drug coverage.

Please note that the above search is restricted to returning a single beneficiary. If more than one beneficiary meets the last name, first name, and date of birth search criteria, the user is prompted to enter additional selection criteria or the claim number.

The user enters search criteria and clicks on the [Find] button.

2. Viewing Summary Information about a Beneficiary

Beneficiaries meeting the search criteria display on the Beneficiaries: Search Results (M202) screen.

STEP 3: Using the Beneficiaries: Search Results (M202) Screen

If the search is successful, the Beneficiaries: Search Results (M202) screen displays as in Figure 2-6 and as described by Table 2-11. For state users, only one beneficiary will be returned. Because any error associated with the search would display on the Beneficiaries: Find (M201) screen, no error messages are displayed on the M202 screen. If a user enters an inactive Claim Number for the Beneficiary, a message displays to indicate the beneficiary’s active claim number, as shown in Table 2-12.

10. Logging Out of the Medicare Advantage and Part D Inquiry System

When the user is finished with all activities, the user should log out. If the user does not log completely out, the session eventually times out. Logging out as soon as the user is finished with the system is a more secure process to follow and is therefore recommended.

If the browser window is closed, the user is logged out automatically. To simplify logging out, the user may use the logout screen to close all windows in one step.

When the user logs on to the system, the logon screen is replaced with a logout screen as shown in Figure 2-19 and described in Table 2-31, with screen messages provided in Table 2-32. This logout screen is behind the MARx UI primary window and the user may access it at any time by selecting the window.

The user clicks on the [Logout] button; the browser asks if the user wants to close the window.

4. Submitting State Data for Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) Provisions

Note: The state monthly file is often referred to as the MMA file, the State Phased-Down (SPD) file, or the Enrollment File. For purposes of consistency, the SUG uses the term MMA file.

1. State Monthly MMA File Submission Requirements

Since 2005, states have been submitting files at least monthly to CMS to identify all dually eligible beneficiaries. This includes full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries and partial-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries (i.e., those who get Medicaid help with Medicare premiums, and often for cost-sharing).

The file is called the “MMA file” (after the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003), but is occasionally referred to as the “state phase-down file.” However, federal regulations at 42 CFR 423.910 now require states, effective April 1, 2022, to submit files daily. Territories do not participate in this data exchange with CMS.

CMS data collection according to MMA requirement implementation will be met by each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia Medicaid agencies (hereafter referred to as states) submitting at least one monthly file, including all known dually eligible beneficiaries and subsequent daily files that provide updates for changes in dual eligibility status (accretions, deletions, and changes).

Daily submission means every business day, but if a state has no new transactions to transmit, data would not need to be submitted on a given business day. Daily submission allows the states to provide current information on updated dual eligibility status and helps promote administrative efficiencies while also benefiting dually eligible beneficiaries and providers.

The MMA files address the following Medicare program needs based on dual-status:

• Dual Eligible Enrollment

  • Parts A and B: QMB status and related protections

  • Part C: Plan risk adjustment

  • Part D: Auto-enrollment and LIS deeming

• State Phased-Down Calculation

• State Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) Applications

2. Dual Eligible Enrollment

The MMA file submittals will include all full-benefit Medicare-Medicaid dually eligible beneficiaries in the state as well as those only eligible as:

• Qualified Medicare Beneficiary (QMB)

• Specified Low-Income Medicare Beneficiary (SLMB)

• Qualifying Individual (QI) (partial-benefit dually eligible)

• Retroactive (Retro) records, Prospective (PRO) records

• State Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) applications for Part D subsidy processed since the last MMA file was created

This will allow CMS to establish the LIS status of dually eligible beneficiaries and to auto-assign beneficiaries to Medicare Part D plans. In addition, CMS uses QMB status to alert providers (via HETS provider eligibility query and via the Remittance Advice) as well as beneficiaries (via Medicare Summary Notice) of prohibitions on collecting cost-sharing for Medicare A/B services. Finally, CMS uses dual status to risk adjustment payments to Part C Medicare Advantage plans.

3. State Phased-Down Calculation

CMS uses the state’s MMA file submission to calculate the State Phased-Down contribution payment. The Phased-Down process requires a monthly count of all full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries with an active Part D plan enrollment in the month. CMS will make this selection of records using dual eligibility status codes contained in the person-month record to identify all full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries (codes 02, 04, and 08).

For more information on the State Phased-Down contribution payment, click here.

In the case wherein a given month, multiple records were submitted for the same beneficiary in multiple file submittals, CMS uses the last record submitted for that beneficiary to determine the final effect on the Phased-Down count.

4. State Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) Applications

The file may also include records for those beneficiaries for whom the state has made a low-income subsidy determination for an individual applying to the state, i.e., since the last file was created. A record for each Medicare Part D LIS application processed during the month by the state must be included in the file.

CMS strongly encourages states to use the SSA subsidy application (SSA-1020) for subsidy applicants unless a beneficiary specifically requests the state make the subsidy determination using a state application form.

• States should ask applicants if they have already applied for the subsidy with SSA and if so, urge them to wait for a decision from SSA. However, if the applicant insists on filing with the state prior to an SSA decision, the state must comply.

If a beneficiary requests a state determination or refuses to use the SSA application, the state must use its application and process the case using federal LIS income, family size, and resource rules. Refer to 42 CFR § 423.904 (c). The state follows its process for taking applications. The state is then responsible for notices, appeals, and redeterminations for subsidy cases it has determined using a state application form. For more information, please refer to section 10.3.3, The State Application in the CMS Guidance to States on the Low-Income Subsidy.

5. State MMA Request File Timing and Content

Sections 5 through 11 pertain to the fifty states and the District of Columbia process of exchanging data with CMS. Section 12 provides information specific to the process for Puerto Rico to exchange data with CMS.

1. MMA Request File Timing

Each state will send at least one comprehensive MMA Request file to CMS between the start and the end of the enrollment month including all known dually eligible beneficiaries and subsequent daily files that include only file accretions, deletions, and changes in dual eligibility status. Daily means every business day, but if no new transactions are available to transmit, data would not need to be submitted on a given business day.

By month’s end, all file submissions for the month will result in a complete representation of all dually eligible beneficiaries enrolled in the state for that month.

• States submit a full monthly file and subsequent daily (accretions, deletions, and changes) MMA Request files during the month. Subsequent submissions in the same month will be treated as a unique submission and processed like the first file. For each state file accepted and processed successfully, CMS will send an MMA Response file within 24-48 hours.

  • Note: State MMA Request files submitted successfully between 6:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (ET) will be processed the same day. MMA Response files are processed and sent to states between 9:00 a.m. -10:00 a.m. (ET) the following day.

  • Files received after 5:30 p.m. (ET) will be processed the following day and the response file sent the next day.

  • Example: The state submits an MMA request file to CMS and it is received at 6 pm on 6/21 after the cutoff processing time of 5:30 p.m. The file is processed on the next day 6/22 and the response file is sent on 6/23.

• Unexpected system issues or planned outages will cause delays in states receiving the MMA Response File within the 24-48-hour window. CMS issues a notification to states via email advising of all delays. If you are not receiving the notifications, contact the MAPD Help Desk at 800-927-8069.

• CMS will process all files nightly for the LIS deeming and auto-assignment process. The resulting enrollment transactions shall be sent daily (except for Sundays) to the Part D Plans.

• Files that are rejected based on data quality validation must be resubmitted to CMS by the last day of the month if this is to be the sole submission of the month.

• If a state submits a file on the last day of the month, and CMS receives it on or after the cutoff processing time, CMS will process the file on the first day of the subsequent month.

The cutoff processing times are:

State File Cutoff Processing Times
Last Day of Month	Cutoff Processing Time
Weekday (including holidays)	5:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Saturday or Sunday	1:00 p.m. Eastern Time

If a file is submitted to CMS on January 31, 2021, at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), it would not be processed until February 1, 2021, and all enrollment detail (DET) records submitted as ‘current’ for January 2021would now be treated as retroactive records, any future DET records would be processed as current records.

If no file is successfully submitted for the month, CMS will project enrollment from the prior month’s file and apply retroactive updates based on the subsequent months’ submittals for the Phased-Down calculation.

2. MMA Request File Content

The Record Identification Code field will identify if the record is an enrollment detail record (DET) for a known dually eligible beneficiary or future Medicaid eligible (not to exceed one month into the future), a prospective full-benefit dually eligible beneficiary (PRO), or a Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) determination record. Medically-needy and other spend-down beneficiaries who have not met their incurred liability for the month and are in inactive enrollment status for the reporting month should not be included. Below are the types of records states should include in their file:

• Current DET Records

• Retro DET Records

• Future DET Records

• LIS Records

• PRO Records

1. Current DET Records

States must include a person-month record for each dually eligible beneficiary for the current reporting month. A person-month record is a full detail record per beneficiary for the current month.

2. Retro DET Records

The retroactive detail record allows the state to report information on changes in beneficiaries’ circumstances that were effective in one or more prior months. Retroactive records will be identified in the MMA Request file by the effective month and year to which the retroactive record data are to be applied. CMS requires states to submit retroactive records in their files to cover any unreported prior-month changes in one or more of the following values as soon as possible:

• Eligibility status (including Medicaid eligibility and dual status)

• Institutional status indicator (including Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS))

• Federal Poverty Level (FPL) percentage indicator

The following are examples of the most common situations that would lead to retroactive changes. In each of these cases, the MMA Request file will include a complete person-month record for that beneficiary for the current month, if applicable, and a subsequent record (s) providing a replacement record for each effective month and year of the change.

1. A state has reported a beneficiary as having eligibility status for the first time in February 2020. The state later determines that the first full month of eligibility was January 2020 and that no other data for January was different. The state sends a retroactive detail record showing this update; the record would change only the eligibility month/year field and maintain all other fields from the February 2020 record.

In the following illustration of this example, you will see that a state would identify the retroactive records in the MMA Request file by the effective month and year to which the retroactive record data are to be applied. The state would submit a detail record for the current month and a new record for the effective month(s) of change. The state corrects the “Elig M/Y,” which should be the only field that changes. All other data fields remain the same.

February File Submission for Current Month
Record ID Code	Elig M/Y	Elig Status	Bene ID	Gender	Date of Birth	Dual Status Code	FPL % Indicator	Institutional Status Indicator
DET	22020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	2	1	Y
March File Submission for Current Month
Record ID Code	Elig M/Y	Elig Status	Bene ID	Gender	Date of Birth	Dual Status Code	FPL % Indicator	Institutional Status Indicator
DET	32020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	2	1	Y
DET	12020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	2	1	Y
DET	22020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	2	1	Y
Abbreviated MMA Request file layout for demonstration purposes.

2. A state has reported a beneficiary as having a dual-status code of 02 (QMB-plus) in February 2020. The state later determines that a change in the beneficiary’s dual status code occurred 2 months before the reporting month and their dual status code was 08 (Other full benefit dually eligible) beginning in December 2019. The state sends a retroactive detail record showing this update; the file would maintain all fields from December 2019 to February 2020 records and change only the dual status code field.

As you can see in the following graphic, a state would identify the retroactive records in the MMA Request file by the effective month and year to which the retroactive record data are to be applied. The state would submit a detail record for the current month, if applicable, and a new record for the effective months of change (i.e., December 2019 to February 2020). The state would correct the “Elig M/Y” and “Dual-Status Code” fields, while all other fields would remain the same.

February File Submission for Current Month
Record ID Code	Elig M/Y	Elig Status	Bene ID	Gender	Date of Birth	Dual Status Code	FPL % Indicator	Institutional Status Indicator
DET	22020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	2	1	Y
March File Submission for Current Month
Record ID Code	Elig M/Y	Elig Status	Bene ID	Gender	Date of Birth	Dual Status Code	FPL % Indicator	Institutional Status Indicator
DET	32020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	8	1	Y
DET	22020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	8	1	Y
DET	12020	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	8	1	Y
DET	122019	Y	4K88L84HXXX	F	12011950	8	1	Y

3. A state has reported a beneficiary as having eligibility in March but was discovered in February to be deceased during the full month of March would have a change record for March showing an eligibility status of ‘N’ for the March enrollment month.

A state would identify the retroactive records in the MMA Request file by the effective month and year to which the retroactive record data are to be applied. The state would submit a detail record for the current month, if applicable, and a new record for the effective month(s) of change (i.e., March). The state corrects the “Elig M/Y,” which should be the only field that changes. All other data fields remain the same.

4. If a beneficiary was submitted as a current DET record in a previous submission during the current reporting month as a ‘Y’, but the state discovered the beneficiary was not Medicaid eligible, the state may correct the eligibility status by resubmitting the beneficiary’s record with an ‘N’ in the Medicaid Eligibility Status field for the current reporting month within the same month.

A state would identify the retroactive records in the MMA Request file by the effective month and year to which the retroactive record data are to be applied. The state would submit a detail record for the current month and a new record for the effective month(s) of change. The state corrects the Eligibility Status field which should be the only field that changes. All other data fields remain the same.



NOTE: CMS can automatically process records up to 36 months of retroactivity from the current reporting month. On an exceptional basis, states are allowed to correct information submitted on the MMA file with eligibility months prior to 36 months and not exceeding 120 months. All state submissions meeting these criteria will require prior approval by the Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) via a request to [email protected].

3. Future DET Records

The file(s) may also include Medicare beneficiaries who will be identified as Medicaid beneficiaries one month into the future.

4. LIS Records

The MMA Request file submittal may also include all state LIS applications for Part D subsidy processed since the last file was created.

5. PRO Records

States should include beneficiaries in state Medicaid programs who are not known to be full-benefit dually eligible but are Medicaid eligible and approaching an age (64 and seven months or older in the reporting month) or disability status that is likely to lead to a future determination of full dually eligibility. See Sections 5.3 – 5.6 for detailed information on PRO Records.

3. Prospective Full-Benefit Dually Eligible Individuals

One of the concerns related to the monthly MMA reporting cycle is the effect on Medicaid-only beneficiaries who transition to dually eligible status and the difficulty in ensuring a seamless transition in drug coverage. This section will clarify a few key elements that are part of the submission, as well as processing, of these prospective records.

The state should only submit prospective records for beneficiaries with full Medicaid benefits, i.e., beneficiaries who, if they have Medicare coverage, would be full-benefit dually eligible. Do not include beneficiaries who would only be partial-benefit dually eligible, i.e., QMB-only, SLMB-only, or QI. In the dual status code field in the PRO record, include the full-benefit dually eligible status code 08 which best describes the dual status assuming that the beneficiary is Medicare eligible.

4. PRO Enrollment Process

By including these prospective beneficiaries on the MMA Request file(s), CMS will be able to return information to the states in the MMA Response files for beneficiaries already in Medicare and those projected to receive Medicare coverage within two months prior to the enrollment effective date. CMS will also be able to set up LIS status and auto-enroll beneficiaries into a Part D plan so their coverage will be in place when they become Part D eligible.

This process will help minimize the transitional drug coverage issues for beneficiaries becoming eligible for Part D. This process also provides an opportunity to better synchronize state information on Medicare enrollment.

5. Submission of PRO Records

For CMS to successfully process a PRO record the following field requirement must be met in the MMA Request Detail Record (See Section 6.4):

• Record Identification Code (item 1, positions 1-3) must contain ‘PRO’.

• Eligibility Month/Year (item 2, positions 4-9) of submission must be the CURRENT PROCESSING MONTH/YEAR. CMS will reject past or future dates.

• A record must contain a ‘Y’ in the Eligibility Status field (item 3, position 10)

• A record must contain a valid Social Security Number (item 6, positions 27-35). This field cannot be 9-filled or blank.

• A record must contain a valid Date of Birth (item 13, positions 108-115). If the date of birth is unknown, enter the best available data. This policy applies to DET records as well. CMS will reject records containing no date of birth or an incorrect birth date format.

• A record must contain a valid Dual Status Code (item 14, positions 116-117) of ‘02’, ’04’ or ‘08’. CMS will reject dual-status codes 01, 03, 05, and 06.

Based on this coding, these records will be subjected to special processing. This processing will bypass counting for the Phased-Down state contribution but will allow CMS to prospectively auto-enroll these beneficiaries and to establish an appropriate Part D LIS level. These records will also be excluded from the file acceptance threshold for a 90-percent Medicare match rate.

PRO records may be submitted in any order within the MMA Request file(s). They may be intermingled with the monthly DET records or separated. CMS will sort the file upon receipt and process each record per the Record Identification Code, item 1 (DET, PRO, LIS).

The information on Medicare status (for Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D) will be returned to the State in the normal response file format. For records that do not match Medicare records, the Medicare enrollment information will be blank. For records having current Medicare enrollment, all available enrollment information will be returned on the response file, including any prospective enrollment dates derived from the SSA prospective enrollment information.

NOTE: Medicare enrollment systems can only return auto-enrollment information for prospective periods two months prior to the enrollment effective date.

Once a beneficiary is identified as a prospective full dual, the beneficiary should be submitted with a Record Identification Code of ‘DET’ in the first month Medicare eligibility is effective. If a beneficiary is identified on the response file as having current or retroactive Medicare coverage, submit retroactive ‘DET’ records covering the missed months of dual eligibility status. Full duals submitted as ‘DET’ records should not be submitted as ‘PRO’ records for the same eligibility month.

6. Processing of Returned PRO Records

Once the state has submitted its PRO records to CMS for processing, CMS will respond by returning a PRO record for each PRO record submitted, regardless if found on CMS Medicare Beneficiary Database (MBD). A state will receive PRO statistics in the Summary Record, Section 7.6. The layout has been changed to accommodate PRO processing.

Record Return Summary Codes 000009 – 000012 apply to PRO records only. See Record Return Summary Code (item 55, positions 229-234) in Section 7.5 for descriptions.

Valid PRO records that have been matched to the database will contain the same information as matched DET records: Part A/B/C Entitlement dates, Beneficiary Identifier (MBI), Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN), SSNs, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), Part C, Part D, etc.

For matched PRO records, a state should submit a DET record once the period of current dual eligibility has been reached. This information is contained in the Eligibility Information for Parts A/B and D in the MMA Response File. If, for example, a PRO record is returned in the December Response File as matched (Record Return Code = ‘000000’ or ‘000001’) and the Part A/B/D Entitlement Start Date is 01/01/2021, it is anticipated that a DET record will be submitted for this beneficiary in the January 2021 file.

Valid PRO records which were matched and are found to be Part A and/or B entitled within two months of submission will be auto-assigned to a PDP. Auto-assignment may only occur up to two months into the future.

For example, if a beneficiary PRO record was submitted in a December 2020 state request file and was found to be Part A and/or B entitled effective 03/01/2021, the beneficiary would be submitted to the LIS deeming process the evening of file submission, and be returned in the MMA Response file within 24-48 hours with a deeming onset date of 03/01/2021.

If the eligibility date is more than two months into the future, CMS will not auto-assign them until the appropriate time frame has been reached (for this example, any record with a future entitlement date beyond March 2021).

Deeming, however, will occur when the record is received for the appropriate period, regardless of the onset being more than two months into the future.

Already existing Medicare eligibility/enrollment may be returned for beneficiaries submitted by a state on a PRO record of which a state was otherwise not aware. When that occurs, the state should submit retroactive monthly DET records covering the newly-identified period of dual eligibility in the following month’s MMA Request file submission.

7. Dual Status Codes

Dually eligible beneficiaries include beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B and getting full Medicaid benefits and/or assistance with Medicare premiums or cost-sharing through the Medicare Savings Program (MSP). For each beneficiary, the state includes a dual-status code, and for full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries, whether their income is over or under 100% FPL, and whether they are institutionalized or qualify for certain home and community-based services (HCBS).

Full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries are Medicare beneficiaries who qualify for the full package of Medicaid benefits. They often separately qualify for assistance with Medicare premiums and cost-sharing through the MSPs. Full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries are dual-status codes: 02, 04, and 08.

Partial-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries are enrolled only in Medicare and an MSP. Partial-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries are dual-status codes: 01, 03, 05, and 06.

The following chart summarizes the dual status codes for the seven eligibility categories for dually eligible beneficiaries, including each category’s benefits and basic qualifications. https://www.cms.gov/Medicare-Medicaid-Coordination/Medicare-and-Medicaid-Coordination/Medicare-Medicaid-Coordination-Office/Downloads/MMCO_DualEligibleDefinition.pdf

Dual status codes 09/99 (unknown) are not valid codes to submit on the MMA Request file. 09/99 codes existed for a processing need long ago but no longer serve a purpose for this file today and may be eliminated as a value in the future. A record should always contain a valid dual-status code (01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, and 08).

8. Part B Immunosuppressive Drug (Part B-ID)

Starting January 1, 2023, certain individuals who lose End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Medicare coverage after a successful kidney transplant are eligible for a limited benefit that covers immunosuppressive drug therapy under Medicare Part B (Part B-ID), as required by section 402 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

The Part B-ID benefit solely covers immunosuppressive drugs and no other Medicare items, services, or prescription drugs.

Individuals enrolled in Part B-ID are now considered QMBs, SLMBs and QIs (not just those enrolled in regular Part A and B) if they otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of QMB, SLMB and QI. States would report them with the appropriate dual status codes for QMB-only, SLMB-only, and QI apply per section 5.7.

Individuals are charged a monthly premium for Part B-ID through direct billing by CMS. Individuals eligible for the MSP QMB, SLMB or QI eligibility groups can receive coverage for the Medicare Part B-ID premium and, for QMBs, Part B-ID cost sharing, including the deductible and coinsurance.

On or after January 1, 2023, individuals are eligible for Part B-ID if they:

• Lose Medicare entitlement on the basis of ESRD 36 months after a successful kidney transplant;

• Are not otherwise eligible for Medicare; and

• Complete an attestation through SSA certifying that they do not have or expect to obtain certain other forms of health coverage, including, but not limited to, employer coverage, Medicaid that includes immunosuppressive drugs, and marketplace coverage.

For more information about the Part B-ID benefit, see chapter 2, section 40.9 of the Medicare General Information, Eligibility and Entitlement Manual (IOM 100-01).

Key beneficiary fields are used to perform a match between the state’s incoming beneficiary records to the CMS Medicare Beneficiary Database (MBD).

Primary Match Routine

The Primary Match routine uses the values for the following demographic fields from the beneficiary’s MMA Request record to find a match for the beneficiary in the Medicare database:

• Beneficiary Identifier (HICN, RRB, or MBI)

• Individual SSN

• Date of Birth

• Sex code

After searching to find a match for the beneficiary, the primary match routine returns a response to the MBD State Phased-Down process indicating the outcome of the search.

Secondary Match Routine

The secondary match routine uses the values for the following demographic fields from the beneficiary’s MMA Request file record to find a match for the beneficiary in the Medicare database:

• Beneficiary Identifier (HICN, RRB, or MBI)

• Individual SSN

• First six (6) characters of the Individual Last Name

• First character of the Individual First Name

• Sex code

After searching to find a match for the beneficiary, the secondary match routine returns a response to the MBD State Phased-Down process indicating the outcome of the search.

An unsuccessful beneficiary match prevents CMS from sending beneficiary information back to the state in the MMA Response File.

2. Institutional Status Indicator

The indicator represents a full-benefit dually eligible beneficiary who receives Medicaid-covered nursing facility, inpatient psychiatric hospital, or certain HCBS care. This field, located at item 17 on the MMA Request File, establishes which full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries (dual status codes 02, 04, 08) qualify for $0 Part D co-payments.

Most non-institutionalized dually eligible beneficiaries pay small co-payments for prescription drugs covered under Medicare Part D. However, section 1860D-14 (a)(1)(D)(i) of the Social Security Act eliminates Medicare Part D co-payments for full-benefit dual eligible beneficiaries who would be institutionalized if they were not receiving services under a home and community-based waiver authorized by a state under section 1115, or subsections (c) or (d) of section 1915, or under a state plan amendment under section 1915(i), or if such services are provided through enrollment in a Medicaid managed care organization with a contract under section 1903(m) or under section 1932.

Since January 1, 2012, states have identified their full-benefit dually eligible beneficiaries (dual status codes 02, 04, 08) who are receiving certain home- and community-based services (HCBS) and coded these beneficiary’s “H” for HCBS in the Institutional Indicator field on the MMA file.

• Y – Indicates that a full-benefit dually eligible beneficiary is enrolled in a Medicaid-paid institution for the full reporting month, or is projected by the state to be in the institution for the remainder of the month.

• H (HCBS) – Indicates that a full-benefit dually eligible beneficiary receives HCBS.

States need to submit not only accurate current-month institutional status but retroactive records reflecting institutional status changes (including H codes) in prior months. This is important so beneficiaries are charged the correct Part D copay amount. Errors in coding this field can have significant financial impacts on beneficiaries. This is also necessary to ensure that there is closure on the Part D Plan’s responsibility for copay amounts during the span of coverage.

For example, if a state has reported a beneficiary for the first time as having institutional status in February, even though the first full month in the institution was January, a retroactive enrollment record is needed showing this update. For more information on submitting retro DET records, refer to section 5.2.2, Retro DET records.

2. Special Key Fields/User Tips for the MMA Response File

   1. Medicare Part D Enrollment Indicator

The Medicare Part D Enrollment Indicator, item 57, position 236 on the MMA Response Detail record, can have the following values:

• Value will be ‘0’ for dual beneficiaries who are enrolled in a Part D plan during eligibility month/year.

• Value will be ‘1’ for dual beneficiaries who are not enrolled in a Part D Plan during eligibility month/year.

2. Managed Care Organization (MCO) (10 Occurrences)

The MCO Occurrences, items 143-154 on the MMA Response Detail record contains both Medicare Advantage Plans, Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and Demo enrollments offering and not offering Part D drug benefits. The information represents the overall contract/organization within which a beneficiary may have a choice of Plans (Plan Benefit Packages or PBPs). If a rollover from a non-drug covering plan into one that does occur, the enrollment effective date of the MCO would not change but the enrollment periods of the affected PBPs would be updated.

The first occurrence is the active (current or future) or most recent Medicare MCO coverage (i.e. plan enrollment). Presently, this section is populated with Medicare Part C and Medicare Part D organizations enrollments. The organizations can be distinguished by the first position of Beneficiary MCO Number (contract level) (field 145, positions 1479-1483):

H – Local Medicare Advantage (MA), local MAPD, MMP, or non-MA Plan

9 – Non-MA Plan (no longer assigned)

R – Regional MA or MAPD Plan

S – Regular standalone Prescription Drug Plan (PDP)

E – Employer direct PDP

X – Limited-Income Newly Eligible Transition (LiNET)

3. Plan Benefit Package Enrollment (10 Occurrences)

The Plan Benefit Package Enrollment Occurrence, items 155-168, lists the various PBP enrollments within the given MCO periods mentioned above:

• The most recent plan enrollment will reside in Occurrence 1, followed by historical enrollments.

• Presently, this section is populated with Medicare Part C offering no drug coverage as well as offering drug coverage and Part D standalone plans.

• A beneficiary can have two open enrollment periods, one signifying a managed care plan offering no drug coverage and a PDP standalone. In that case, the MCO contract numbers will be different.

• Updated list of values for the PBP Coverage Type Code (item 159, positions 1700-1701):

NF – Pay bill option was not found for the contract.

03 – Coordinated Care Plan (CCP)

04 – Medicare Medical Savings Account (MSA)

05 – Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS)

06 – Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE)

07 – Regional Plan

08 – Demonstration (DEMO)

10 – Health Care Prepayment Plan (HCPP)

11 – Part D Drug Plan Election (PDP)

12 – Chronic Care Demo

13 – Medicare Medical Savings Account Demonstration (MSA Demo)

4. Part D Plan Benefit Package (10 Occurrences)

The Part D Plan Benefit Package Occurrences (items 207-220) will list the Part D Plans which also triggers the Medicare Part D Eligibility Indicator (item 56) to reflect a ‘0’, denoting ‘Part D Enrollment found’.

This area of the response file describes the various PBP enrollments within the given PDP only periods:

• The most active plan enrollment will reside in Occurrence 1, followed by historical enrollments.

• Presently, this section is populated with Medicare Part C plans offering drug coverage as well as Part D standalone plans

• A beneficiary can have two open enrollment periods, one signifying a managed care plan offering no drug coverage and a PDP standalone. In that case, the MCO contract numbers will be different.

10. Territory Beneficiary Query (TBQ) Request File

The TBQ is a data exchange between CMS and the states. To determine beneficiary entitlement and enrollment information as part of the process for Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) enrollment, participating States will request information from MBD. MBD will validate the incoming file and send an email to the state indicating acceptance or rejection of the file. If the file is rejected, no further action is taken. If the file is accepted, MBD will send a file containing the latest entitlement data for the matched beneficiaries.

1. Puerto Rico Dual Eligibles File Process

This section describes the Dual Eligible Beneficiaries data exchange between the Medical Assistance Program of Puerto Rico (known by its Spanish acronym, PAM) and CMS.

Medicare Beneficiary Database Suite of Systems (MBDSS) builds a risk adjustment period for a beneficiary living in Puerto Rico based on the beneficiary’s eligibility for Medicaid. Puerto Rico sends a Dual Eligibles File to CMS monthly that contains a record for each beneficiary who is eligible for Medicaid during the current month. Records for retroactive Medicaid eligibility may also be included in the file.

MBDSS creates a response file for each file received from Puerto Rico. The response file includes the original beneficiary record in addition to a processing indicator that describes the disposition of the record.

Section 12.1 through 12.4 covers the Request File layouts from Puerto Rico to CMS and Sections 12.5 through 12.9 covers the Response File layouts from CMS to Puerto Rico.
