information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection. Title of 

Information Collection: Medicare Parts 

C and D Universal Audit Guide. Use: 

Under the Medicare Prescription Drug, 

Improvement, and Modernization Act of 

2003 and implementing regulations 

under 42 CFR parts 422 and 423, 

Medicare Part D plan sponsors and 

Medicare Advantage organizations are 

required to comply with all Medicare 

Parts C and D program requirements. In 

2010 the explosive growth of these 

sponsoring organizations forced CMS to 

develop an audit strategy to ensure we 

continue to obtain meaningful audit 

results. As a result, CMS’ audit strategy 

reflected a move to a more targeted, 

data-driven and risk-based audit 

approach that focused on high-risk areas 

having the greatest potential for 

beneficiary harm. 

To accomplish this we have combined 

all Part C and Part D audit elements into 

one universal guide which will also 

promote consistency, effectiveness and 

reduce financial and time burdens for 

both CMS and Medicare-contracting 

entities. The combined Medicare Part C 

& D Universal Audit Guide received 

OMB approval in 2010. The Health Plan 

Management System (HPMS) is the 

current conduit by which organizations 

submit many sources of audit materials 

such as bids and other ongoing updates 

to CMS. Please note the guide is very 

comprehensive in that it describes all 

areas that could be audited. Due to 

limited resources, CMS is unable to 

audit all areas for any particular 

sponsor. Some areas could be monitored 

by the account manager, etc. Other areas 

could be audited in the program audits. 

To maximize resources, CMS will 

focus on assisting the industry to 

improve their operations to ensure 

beneficiaries receive access to care. One 

way to accomplish this is CMS will 

develop an annual audit strategy which 

describes how sponsors will be selected 

for audit and the areas that will be 

audited. The audit strategy will be 

shared with the industry via the CMS 

Web site, HPMS memo, the Part C & D 

user call, and other conferences. Once 

the audit areas are defined, CMS will 

design audit protocols describing in 

detail the focus of the audit, the data 

required for the audit, etc. The 

Engagement Letter and Protocols will be 

sent to all sponsors selected for audit 4 

weeks prior to starting the audit. In 

addition, the protocols will be released 

to the industry at the beginning of each 

calendar year via the same manner as 

the audit strategy. To assist in 

improving the audit process, CMS sends 

the plan sponsors a survey at the end of 

each audit to complete in order to 

obtain the sponsor’s feedback. The 

sponsor is not required to complete the 

survey.
