Prior to the re-submission of this information collection (IC), CMS will assess linguistic preferences across the respondent population and translate this IC into additional languages as appropriate in order to increase accessibility and reduce health disparities. It is the expectation that CMS will translate this form into more languages that English and Spanish, but the number of additional languages will be based on the agencyâs assessment of population needs. These languages could include both Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, Arabic, French, and Russian. This request is supported by the principles and priorities set forth in the memorandum titled âImproving Access to Public Benefits Programs Through the Paperwork Reduction Actâ (April 13, 2022), the Executive Order 13985 on âAdvancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Governmentâ (January 20, 2021), Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency" (August, 11, 2000) and the culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) standards.

The purpose of this new information collection request for the approval of model documents for the Medicare Prescription Drug Program (Part D) is to meet the requirements of Section 11202 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Public L. 117-169 (IRA), which established the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan Program. Under this program, MA Organizations offering Part D coverage and Part D sponsors are required to offer enrollees the option to pay their Part D cost sharing in monthly amounts spread out over the plan year based on the formula described in section 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(iv) of the Act.
There are several education and outreach requirements for plan sponsors related to implementation of this program. The proposed documents in this information collection are designed to assist Part D plan sponsors and MA organizations in complying with Sections 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(v)(II) â (IV) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which set forth the education and outreach responsibilities for Part D sponsors and MA organizations for this program.CMS has developed the six materials in the attached package as model notices to provide standardized and consistent language for potential and active program participants, regardless of which Part D plan they may be enrolled in. CMS will require Part D plans to disseminate these notices, as appropriate, to Part D enrollees to fulfill the requirements of the Sections 1860D-2(b)(2)(E)(v)(II) â (IV) of the Act. The six model notices and their related burden are accounted for in this PRA package. By providing these model notices, CMS is providing standardized messaging for all Part D beneficiaries and reducing administrative burden on Part D sponsors and MA organizations.
