Introduction

Section 1860D–12(b)(3)(D) of the Social Security Act (the Act) provides broad authority for the Secretary to add terms to the contracts with Part D sponsors, including terms that require the sponsor to provide the Secretary with information as the Secretary may find necessary and appropriate. Pursuant to our statutory authority, we codified these information collection requirements for Part D sponsors in regulation at §423.514.

42 CFR §423.514(a) requires each Part D sponsor to have a procedure to develop, compile, evaluate, and report to CMS, to its enrollees, and to the general public, at the times and in the manner that CMS requires, statistics indicating the following:

  1. The cost of its operations.

  2. The patterns of utilization of its services.

  3. The availability, accessibility, and acceptability of its services.

  4. Information demonstrating that the Part D sponsor has a fiscally sound operation.

  5. Pharmacy performance measures.

  6. Other matters that CMS may require.

The purpose of this document is to assure a common understanding of the Part D reporting requirements and how these data will be used to monitor the prescription drug benefit provided to Medicare beneficiaries. CMS will use the following terminology to ensure consistency in these reporting requirements:

    • Part D sponsor –an organization which has one or more contract(s) with CMS to provide Part D benefits to Medicare beneficiaries. Each contract is assigned a CMS contract number (e.g., H# or S#).

    • Plan a plan benefit package (PBP) offered within a Part D contract (e.g., Plan ID #).

This document lists reporting timeframes, deadlines and required levels of reporting. Reporting deadlines may occur in the subsequent calendar year. Data elements may be reported at the Plan (PBP) level, or the individual Contract level.

The following criteria were used in selecting reporting requirements:

  1. Minimal administrative burden on Part D sponsors;

  2. Legislative and regulatory authority;

  3. Validity, reliability, and utility of data elements requested; and

  4. Wide acceptance and current utilization within the industry.

Unless otherwise specified, drug utilization data should include all covered* Part D drugs, including compounded drugs.

PACE Organizations offering Part D coverage are exempt from these Part D reporting requirements.

Medicare/Medicaid Plans (MMPs) should refer to the Medicare-Medicaid Financial Alignment Model Reporting Requirements for additional reporting guidance. Some MMP measures may have specific timelines that may be different.

*Covered Part D drugs as defined by Section 1860D-2(e)(2) of the Social Security Act (The Act). Drugs offered under enhanced or supplemental drug benefits by sponsors are not covered Part D drugs.

Section I. Enrollment and Disenrollment

Enrollment and disenrollment requirements for Medicare Advantage and Part D plan elections are outlined at 42 CFR 422 Subpart B and 42 CFR 423 Subpart B, respectively.

CMS will collect data on the elements for these requirements, which are otherwise not available to CMS, in order to evaluate sponsors’ processing of enrollment, disenrollment, and reinstatement requests in accordance with CMS requirements.

All enrollment and disenrollment activity involving a Part D benefit (e.g., standalone prescription drug plan, MA prescription drug plan, cost plan with Part D optional supplemental benefit) is reported via the Part D requirements. MAOs and 1876 Cost plans report enrollment and disenrollment activity that does not involve a Part D benefit under the Part C reporting requirements.

Section 1 Enrollment, elements 1.A-1.K must include all enrollments. Disenrollments must not be included in Section 1 Enrollment. Section 2 Disenrollment, elements 2.A- 2.F, must include all voluntary disenrollment transactions.

Section V. Coverage Determinations, Redeterminations (including At–Risk Redeterminations under a Drug Management Program), and Reopenings

The requirements relating to coverage determinations (including formulary and tier exceptions, and exceptions to established drug utilization management programs) and redeterminations, including timeframes for standard and expedited requests are described in Title 42, Part 423, Subpart M. Sponsors will be responsible for reporting several data elements related to coverage determinations and redeterminations, including Part B vs. Part D coverage determinations and redeterminations. Sponsors should report data based on the date the enrollee/enrollee’s representative is notified in writing of the coverage determination or redetermination decision. A sponsor’s complete decision includes making the determination, appropriately notifying the enrollee of the determination, and authorizing coverage or sending payment, where applicable.

Coverage decisions (both coverage determinations and redeterminations) may result in a partially favorable decision.

    • Example of a fully favorable decision: Non-formulary exception request approved for drug and quantity prescribed.

    • Example of a partially favorable decision: Non-formulary exception request approved for drug, but full quantity prescribed not approved.

Sponsors must also report data relating to redeterminations of at-risk determinations made under a plan sponsor’s drug management program pursuant to the rules at 42 CFR §423.153(f), including the number of requests and the disposition. At-risk redeterminations may involve decisions about:

    • Being identified as an at-risk beneficiary for prescription drug misuse or abuse;

    • Having a limitation, or the continuation of a limitation, on access to coverage for frequently abused drugs (i.e., an enrollee specific point-of-sale (POS) edit or the selection of a prescriber and/or pharmacy for purposes of lock-in);

    • Sharing information for subsequent Part D plan enrollments.

Sponsors should report data based on the date the enrollee/enrollee’s representative is notified in writing of the at-risk redetermination decision.

Title 42, Part 423, Subpart U describes requirements for reopenings of coverage determinations and redeterminations. Sponsors should also include reopened coverage determination and redetermination data, based on the date the enrollee/enrollee’s representative is notified in writing of the revised decision. A reopening may or may not change the disposition of the case.

Sponsors will report quarterly data on an annual basis at the Contract level. Data files to be uploaded through the HPMS at the Contract level, following templates provided in HPMS.

Section VII. Medicare Prescription Payment Plan

The “Medicare Prescription Payment Plan” was established by section 11202 of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 (P.L. 117-169). Section 1860D-2(b)(2)(E) of the Social Security Act, as added by section 11202 of the IRA, requires all Medicare Part D sponsors to offer their Part D enrollees the option to pay their out-of-pocket (OOP) Part D drug costs through monthly payments over the course of the plan year instead of as upfront payments at the pharmacy point of sale (POS), beginning January 1, 2025.

CMS collects the data described below to assess the performance of Part D Sponsors with respect to the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan. CMS’ oversight will help ensure financial stability, quality healthcare services, including pharmacy benefits and regulatory compliance in the Medicare Part D program, ultimately enhancing beneficiary satisfaction and program effectiveness.

Part D sponsors are responsible for reporting data elements related to their Medicare Prescription Payment Plan offerings at the contract-Plan Benefit Package (PBP) levels. CMS collects beneficiary-level data on the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan through the Medicare Prescription Drug (MARx) System.
