SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Advisory Panel on Medicare 

Education (APME) was established in 

January 1999 in accordance with section 

9(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), which 

authorizes the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (the Secretary) to 

establish an advisory panel if the 

Secretary determines that the panel is 

‘‘in the public interest in connection 

with the performance of duties imposed 

* * * by law.’’ Such duties are 

specifically imposed by section 1804 of 

the Social Security Act (the Act), 

requiring the Secretary to provide 

informational materials to Medicare 

beneficiaries about the Medicare 

program, and section 1851(d) of the Act, 

requiring the Secretary to provide for 

‘‘activities * * * to broadly disseminate 

information to [M]edicare beneficiaries 

* * * on the coverage options provided 

under [Medicare Advantage] in order to 

promote an active, informed selection 

among such options.’’ 

The APME was also authorized by 

section 1114(f) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 

1314(f)) and section 222 of the Public 

Health Service Act (PHSA) (42 U.S.C. 

217a). The Secretary signed the charter 

establishing the APME on January 21, 

1999 (64 FR 7899, February 17, 1999). 

II. Provisions of This Notice 

A. Renewal, Renaming, and 

Amendment of the APOE 

Over the last decade, the role of the 

APME in advising the Secretary and 

CMS on Medicare education activities 

has contributed to the overall improved 

understanding by beneficiaries of 

original Medicare, Medicare Advantage 

(MA), and Medicare Prescription Drug 

plans. With enactment of the health care 

reform provisions of the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

(Pub. L. 111–148) as amended by the 

Health Care and Education 

Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111– 

152) (these two public laws are 

collectively referred to as the Affordable 

Care Act), we realized that the 

usefulness of this FACA group could be 

expanded to assist the Secretary and 

CMS with responsibilities under the 

Medicaid and CHIP programs. Pursuant 

to the charter approved on January 21, 

2011, the APME was renewed, 

expanded, and renamed to reflect this 

broader scope of responsibilities. The 

renamed Advisory Panel on Outreach 

and Education (APOE)) will advise the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services and CMS on developing and 

implementing education programs that 

support individuals with or who are 

eligible for Medicare, Medicaid and the 

Children’s Health Insurance Program 

(CHIP) about options for selecting health 

care coverage under these and other 

programs envisioned under health care 

reform to ensure improved access to 

quality care, including prevention 

services. The expansion of this FACA 

group will also include advising on 

education of providers and stakeholders 

with respect to health care reform and 

certain provisions of the Health 

Information Technology for Economic 

and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act 

enacted as part of the American
