• Part C Organization Determinations, 

Appeals, and Grievances (ODAG) 

• Special Needs Plans Care 

Coordination (SNPCC) 

CMS generally conducts program 

audits at the parent organization level in 

an effort to reduce burden and, for 

routine audits, subjects each sponsoring 

organization to all applicable program 

area protocols. For example, if a 

sponsoring organization does not offer a 

special needs plan, or an accrediting 

organization has deemed a special needs 

plan compliant with CMS regulations 

and standards, CMS would not apply 

the SNPCC protocol. Likewise, CMS 

would not apply the ODAG audit 

protocol to an organization that offers 

only a standalone prescription drug 

plan since that organization does not 

offer the MA benefit. Conversely, ad hoc 

audits resulting from referral may be 

limited in scope and, therefore, all 

program area protocols may not be 

applied. 

The information gathered during this 

program audit will be used by the 

Medicare Parts C and D Oversight and 

Enforcement Group (MOEG) within the 

Center for Medicare (CM) and CMS 

Regional Offices to assess sponsoring 

organizations’ compliance with 

Medicare program requirements. If 

outliers or other data anomalies are 

detected, Regional Offices will work in 

collaboration with MOEG and other 

divisions within CMS for follow-up and 

resolution. Additionally, MA and Part D 

organizations will receive the audit 

results and will be required to 

implement corrective action to correct 

any identified deficiencies. Form

December 31, 2024. 

CFDA Number: 93.527. 

Authority: Section 2401 of the 

American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, 

Public Law 117–2. 

Justification: The end of the declared 

COVID–19 Public Health Emergency 

and associated transition to commercial 

access to vaccines and therapeutics 

impacts the capacity of health centers to 

maintain essential COVID–19 related 

services for their patients, including but 

not limited to health center patients 

who lack health insurance. Health 

centers will use one-time Bridge 

funding to support uninsured and 

underinsured patients and residents of 

their communities with needs such as 

COVID–19 vaccination and 

therapeutics, enabling/patient support 

services (such as outreach, education, 

enrollment assistance, transportation, 

translation, and care coordination) to 

support COVID–19 related services; 

community COVID–19 vaccination 

events; and, supplies and personnel 

who support COVID–19 related services 

and care delivery, including personnel 

costs necessary to develop, support, or 

expand collaborations, including 

collaborations with state/jurisdiction 

immunization programs. Recipients will 

submit data on program activities 

through the HRSA Health Center 

COVID–19 survey as required, as well as 

periodic progress reports.
