Healthcare Informatics Institute Comment: Many commenters agreed with the proposal to utilize the existing Part D appeals process for at-risk beneficiaries, including not requiring automatic escalation for external review. These commenters believed that use of the existing process is the simplest and most administratively efficient approach, as it is familiar to beneficiaries, plan sponsors, and other stakeholders. These commenters also believed that plan sponsors should have the opportunity to review additional information and potentially adjust their initial decision before the case is reviewed by the IRE.

This commenter also asked that Start Printed Page 16509CMS explain how tiering exceptions are applied to Low Income Subsidy (LIS) beneficiaries.

Comment: Some commenters fully supported the proposal, stating that eliminating the meaningful difference requirement will support plan innovation and provide Medicare beneficiaries access to plans that meet their unique needs. Several commenters noted that eliminating the current meaningful difference requirement that established arbitrary differences between plans will allow MA organizations to put the beneficiary at the center of benefit design. This will result in MA organizations being able to offer a portfolio of plan options with clear differences between benefits, providers, and premiums that are easily understood by beneficiaries. Commenters also noted that CMS’s efforts to support beneficiaries make informed choices by maintaining existing requirements for marketing materials and nondiscriminatory benefit designs will sufficiently safeguard beneficiaries if the meaningful difference requirement is eliminated.
(1) Basic rule. An MA plan offered by an MA organization must accept any individual (regardless of whether the individual has end-stage renal disease) who requests enrollment during his or her Initial Coverage Election Period while enrolled in a health plan offered by the MA organization during the month immediately preceding the MA plan enrollment effective date, and who Start Printed Page 16724meets the eligibility requirements at § 422.50.

In order to be reasonable and relevant, such terms and conditions must pertain to the pharmacy’s business and services as allowed under its license(s). While traditionally such terms and conditions could easily be established based upon classification as a retail or mail-order pharmacy, our intent is to illustrate that those traditional labels likely do not sufficiently encompass today’s evolving pharmacy practice. Pharmacies complained to us that they had been excluded from network participation, not because they were unwilling or unable to meet the standard contracting terms and conditions, but because their business and service delivery models represented hybrids that did not squarely meet any of the definitions by which Part D plan sponsors typically classify pharmacies. Again, CMS is not prescribing what the terms and conditions have to be; we were only clarifying that they must actually be reasonable and relevant to those functions performed, and not theoretically reasonable and relevant based upon outdated pharmacy classifications that do not accurately reflect today’s pharmacy business model(s) and practices.

Response: We agree with this comment and are finalizing additional revisions to § 422.111(h)(2)(ii) and new text in § 422.111(h)(2)(iii). The new paragraph (h)(2)(iii) provides that posting the Summary of Benefits does not relieve the obligation to provide hard copies of the document to enrollees when CMS determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficiary. CMS considers the Summary of Benefits, unlike the EOC, to be a marketing material because its primary purpose is to influence a prospective enrollee’s decision to enroll in a plan. For example, agents use the Summary of Benefits as a tool to help sell plans to prospective enrollees. It indicates key benefits in a standardized arrangement, providing the beneficiary with a safeguard to confirm what the agent has presented. On the other hand, the EOC is a document delivered after a beneficiary has made an enrollment decision and is, in essence, a contract between a current enrollee and the plan, articulating rights and responsibilities, as well as detailed guidance on how to interact with the plan. CMS believes that enrollees should not have to take an extra step to find the Summary of Benefits when enrolling in a plan. Because plans provide the Summary of Benefits with an enrollment mechanism, to avoid an extra step, the Summary of Benefits must be available in the same format as the enrollment mechanism. To that end, when plans provide a paper application to a prospective enrollee, CMS instructs the plan to also provide a paper Summary of Benefits along with the paper application.
Medicare by State We explained in the proposed rule that the percentage of LIS/DE is a critical element in the categorization of contracts into the final adjustment category to identify a contract’s CAI. Starting with the 2017 Star Ratings, we have applied an additional adjustment for contracts that solely serve the population of beneficiaries in Puerto Rico to address the lack of LIS in Puerto Rico. That adjustment results in a modified percentage of LIS/DE beneficiaries that is subsequently used to categorize contracts into the final adjustment category for the CAI.

Your Local Agent Medicare: Neither Medicare Parts A nor B offer coverage for comprehensive ongoing long-term care. Medicare A (hospital insurance) may cover costs for a semiprivate room, meals, nursing and rehab services, medications, and medical supplies in a skilled nursing facility for the first 100 days after being released from hospitalization for an acute illness or injury. The first 20 days are covered at 80 percent, with the rest of that time period covered at decreasing rates. It never covers a private room nor services in an assisted living residence. Medicare B only offers reimbursement for covered services you receive from a doctor.

N Engl J Med 2015; 372:1823-1831 Medically reviewed by Debra Sullivan, PhD, MSN, CNE, COI on January 10, 2017 — Written by Tricia Kinman Legal Definition list CMS proposed that these rules would be used to calculate the measure scores in the first and second year after consolidation; following those two years, CMS proposed to use the other rules proposed in §§ 422.166 and 423.186 to calculate the measure, domain, summary, and overall Star Ratings for the consolidated contract. In the third year after consolidation and subsequent years, the performance period for all the measures will be after the consolidation, so our proposal limited the special rules for calculating post-consolidation the Star Ratings to the Ratings issued the first 2 years after consolidation.
Understanding Your Options Medicare Advantage facilitated competition for Medicare services by allowing private companies to bid on health care coverage. Medicare required that the bids offer the same level of coverage, in terms of dollar amount, as standard Medicare benefits, but allowed private companies to determine how those benefits were calculated. For example, a company could choose to have higher deductibles for home health care services, but eliminate copays for visit to the recipient’s physician. If the total cost of the Medicare Advantage plan was higher than the payment benchmarks established by Medicare, recipients had to pay the difference on their own, but if the plan was cheaper, recipients received rebates and discounts on treatment.

Comment: A commenter stated that the proposed provision to § 422.224(a) does not appear to exclude emergency or urgently needed services from the payment prohibition therein. The commenter recommended that CMS make clearer that such services are indeed excluded from § 422.224(a)’s purview.
