Abstract: Section 1853 of the Social Security Act, hereafter referred to as “the Act,” requires CMS to make advance monthly payments to a Medicare Advantage (MA) organization for each beneficiary enrolled in an MA plan offered by the organization for coverage of Medicare Part A and Part B benefits. Section 1853(a)(1)(C) of the Act requires CMS to adjust the monthly payment amount for each enrollee to take into account the health status of MA plan enrollees. CMS used RAPS data, in combination with encounter data and Fee-For-Service (FFS) data, to develop the diagnosis-based portion of the risk scores for risk adjusted payment to MA organizations, PACE organizations, and MMPs. Risk adjustment allows CMS to pay plans for the health risk of the beneficiaries they enroll, instead of paying an identical average amount for each enrollee. By risk adjusting plan payments, CMS is able to make appropriate and accurate payments for enrollees with differences in expected costs. Risk adjustment is used to adjust bidding and payment based on the health status and demographic characteristics of an enrollee. Risk scores measure individual beneficiaries’ relative risk and the risk scores are used to adjust payments for each beneficiary’s expected expenditures. By risk adjusting plan bids, CMS is able to also use standardized bids as base payments to plans.
