(ii) Exception for identification by prior plan. If a beneficiary was identified as a potential at-risk or an at-risk beneficiary by his or her most recent prior plan and such identification has not been terminated in accordance with paragraph (f)(14) of this section, the sponsor meets the requirements in paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this section, so long as the sponsor obtains case management information from the previous sponsor and such information is still clinically adequate and up to date.
You pay a small copay or coinsurance amount. Response: In finalizing this rule, we will no longer be requiring enrollment in Medicare FFS in order for providers to participate with MA plans. Even if we made the commenter’s suggested change to the CMS-855 forms, we still believe that this does not accurately address the large volume of prescribers and providers that have yet to enroll with the program. As already mentioned, there are close to 340,000 active Part D prescribers who are not enrolled in or opted-out of Medicare and 120,000 MA providers that would require outreach and would need to enroll. We believe the success rate for enrollment of MA providers would be similar to that experienced with the Part D population. Based on these figures and our concerns for potential access to care issues, we again believe that this outweighs the benefits gained from requiring enrollment.
Response: CMS appreciates the suggestion. CMS is currently examining the feasibility of a health equity measure that could be potentially proposed in the future.
Recognizing these concerns, and wanting to reduce as much burden as possible for providers without compromising our program integrity objectives, we proposed in the November 28, 2017 proposed rule several changes to § 423.120(c)(6) as well as to several other provisions, which we describe below.

Comment: A commenter recommended that we clarify sponsors must conduct case management with respect to potential at-risk beneficiaries who are current utilizers under the Part D sponsor and not such beneficiaries who are identified by the prior sponsor. This commenter stated further that if sponsors are required to conduct case management on potential at-risk beneficiaries identified by the prior sponsor, then the response due date should be extended for such cases (that is, to next OMS quarter), as sponsors may need to contact the prior sponsor for case details to conduct case management for the prior claims data. In extending the outlier response due date, this commenter urged us to consider that the volume of such cases may differ based on the size of the prior sponsor.
Moreover, we proposed that a sponsor should not send a potential at-risk beneficiary an initial notice until after the sponsor has been in contact with the beneficiary’s prescribers of frequently abused drugs as part of case management, so as to avoid unnecessarily alarming the beneficiary. This is because the result of case management may be that the sponsors takes a “wait and see” approach to observe if the prescribers adjust their management of, and opioid prescriptions they are writing for, the beneficiary. We noted that while this approach is acceptable, we still expect sponsors to address the most egregious cases of apparent opioid overutilization without unreasonable delay.
If you are under 65 and receive Medicare due to a disability, and are covered under your working spouse’s employer group health plan, you may want to delay enrolling in Medicare Part B.

Download AAA App Our proposal was intended to exclude from marketing any materials that do not include information about the plan’s benefit structure or cost-sharing. We believe that materials that do not mention benefit structure or cost sharing will not be used to make an enrollment decision in a specific Medicare plan, rather they will be used to drive beneficiaries to request additional information that will fall under the new definition of marketing. Similarly, we want to be sure it is clear that the use of measuring or ranking standards, such as the CMS Star Ratings, even when not accompanied by other plan benefit structure or cost sharing information, could lead a beneficiary to make an enrollment decision; we therefore proposed to exclude materials that do not have such rankings or measurements from marketing. In addition, we proposed to exclude materials that mention benefits or cost sharing but do not otherwise meet the proposed definition of marketing. The goal of this proposal is to exclude member communications that convey important factual information that is not intended to influence the enrollee’s decision to make a plan selection or to stay enrolled in their current plan. An example is a monthly newsletter to current enrollees reminding them of preventive services at $0 cost sharing.

Election of coverage under an MA plan. This proposed approach also indicated that the program size will be determined as part of the process to develop the clinical guidelines—a process into which stakeholders will provide input. Section 1860D-4(c)(5)(C)(iii) of the Act states that the Secretary shall establish policies, including the guidelines and exemptions, to ensure that the population of enrollees in drug management programs could be effectively managed by plans. We proposed to define “program size” in Start Printed Page 16448§ 423.100 to mean the estimated population of potential at-risk beneficiaries in drug management programs (described in § 423.153(f)) operated by Part D plan sponsors that the Secretary determines, as part of the process to develop clinical guidelines, can be effectively managed by such sponsors.

For example, as the result of a coverage determination or appeal.[12] To the extent that such a beneficiary is reported through OMS on January 1, 2019 or later to a sponsor with a drug management program, that sponsor must comply with the requirements we are finalizing in this rule.
(800) 488-7621 August 2009 (3) Comment: A commenter stated that a challenge associated with FFS provider enrollment for MA-only providers is the CMS policy that would terminate a provider’s enrollment in FFS Medicare if at least one claim is not submitted within a 12-month period. If a provider has no intention of treating FFS Medicare beneficiaries, the provider would have to undertake the administrative burden of re-enrolling with FFS Medicare on an annual basis. The commenter recommended that CMS address this issue, specifically suggesting that the CMS-855 enrollment form be modified to allow a provider to indicate that he or she only intends to treat MA beneficiaries, thus eliminating the need for the provider to reenroll.

The MA statute explicitly requires that information about plan quality and performance indicators be provided to beneficiaries to help them make informed plan choices. These data are to include disenrollment rates, enrollee satisfaction, health outcomes, and plan compliance with requirements.

Meaningful Differences in Medicare Advantage Bid Submissions and Bid Review (§§ 422.254 and 422.256) High Schools The majority of spending in the U.S. health care system goes toward a small subset of patients with multiple chronic conditions and functional limitations, and this describes many senior living residents, she told SHN.

By Emmarie Huetteman, Kaiser Health News Response: CMS disagrees that this composite penalizes plans based on how beneficiaries choose to fill prescriptions; rather, the item focuses on ease of getting prescriptions filled when using the plan. The composite covers two topics: How often it was easy to use your plan to get the medicines your doctor prescribed (assessed by one item) and ease of filling prescriptions (assessed by combining two items about how often it was easy to use your plan to fill a prescription at your local pharmacy, and how often it was easy to use your plan to fill a prescription by mail). The combined pharmacy/mail score is averaged with the first item’s score to produce the composite score. This averaging weights mail and pharmacy according to how many respondents say they use each method, so mail would not count at all if no one in the plan uses mail.

(a) Definitions. In this subpart the following terms have the meanings: Itasca Weather 2018 Open Enrollment is over, but you may still be able to enroll in 2018 health insurance through a Special Enrollment Period.
Also, the sponsor will generally be required to send two notices—the first signaling the sponsor’s intent to implement a POS claim edit or limitation (both referred to generally as a “limitation”), and the second upon implementation of such limitation. Under our proposal, the requirement to send two notices will not apply in certain cases involving at-risk beneficiaries who are identified as such and provided a second notice by their immediately prior plan’s drug management program.
Under 1852(e) of the Act, MA organizations are required to collect, analyze, and report data that permit measurement of health outcomes and other indices of quality. The Star Ratings system is based on information collected consistent with section 1852(e) of the Act. Section 1852(e)(3)(B) of the Act prohibits the collection of data on quality, outcomes, and beneficiary satisfaction other than the types of data that were collected by the Secretary as of November 1, 2003; there is a limited exception for SNPs to collect, analyze, and report data that permit the measurement of health outcomes and other indicia of quality. The statute does not require that only the same data be collected, but that we do not change or expand the type of data collected until after submission of a Report to Congress (prepared in consultation with MA organizations and accrediting bodies) that explains the reason for the change(s). We clarify here that the types of data included under the Star Ratings system are consistent with the types of data collected as of November 1, 2003. Since 1997, Medicare managed care organizations have been required to annually report quality of care performance measures through HEDIS. We have also been conducting the CAHPS survey since 1997 to measure beneficiaries’ experiences with their health plans. HOS began in 1998 to capture changes in the physical and mental health of MA enrollees. To some extent, these surveys have been revised and updated over time, but the same types of data—clinical measures, beneficiary experiences, and changes in physical and mental health, respectively—have remained the focus of these surveys. In addition, there are several measures in the Stars Ratings System that are based on performance that address telephone customer service, members’ complaints, disenrollment rates, and appeals; however these additional measures are not collected directly from the sponsoring organizations for the primary purpose of quality measurement so they are not information collections governed by Start Printed Page 16532section 1852(e). These additional measures are calculated from information that CMS has gathered as part of the administration of the Medicare program, such as information on appeals forwarded to the Independent Review Entity under subparts M, enrollment, and compliance and enforcement actions.

The duals’ SEP limitation will align with the revised timeframes for the potential-at-risk and at-risk status as addressed in section 423.153(f) of this final rule. That is, if the Part D plan sponsor takes no additional action to identify the individual as an at-risk beneficiary within 60 days from the date on the initial notice, the “potentially at-risk” designation and the duals’ SEP limitation will expire. At-risk determinations will be for an initial 12 month period, with the option to extend for a maximum of 24 months in total (that is, an additional 12 month period) upon reassessment of the beneficiary’s at-risk status at the completion of the initial 12 month period.
(b) Minimum enrollment waiver. For a contract applicant that does not meet the applicable requirement of paragraph (a) of this section at application for an MA contract, CMS may waive the minimum enrollment requirement for the first 3 years of the contract. To receive a waiver, a contract applicant must demonstrate to CMS’s satisfaction that it is capable of administering and managing an MA contract and is able to manage the level of risk required under the contract during the first 3 years of the contract. Factors that CMS takes into consideration in making this evaluation include the extent to which—

Response: Medicare FFS data is the most relevant and available data at this time. CMS will consider future rulemaking to use MA encounter cost data as well as Medicare FFS data to establish MOOP limits. In determining completeness and accuracy of MA encounter data CMS does consider the various managed care payment arrangements and payment policies that may exist between organizations, as compared to Medicare FFS data (which are based on relatively consistent payment schedules and payment policies). At this time we cannot commit to a timeline for use of MA encounter data or other data sources to establish MOOP limits. As we learn more and are able to establish standards for the completeness and sufficiency of alternate data sources, we will revisit this issue.

Blood processing & handling Case 4: The physicians/physician groups have an ownership stake in the intermediary. The intermediary shares additional payments based on use and costs of referral services with the contracted physicians/physician groups. The amount of the additional payment paid to each physician/physician group is related to the referral services associated with that individual physician/physician group. In this case, the physicians/physician groups are at financial risk based on their referral patterns. The analysis must be performed at the physician/physician group level to evaluate whether that risk is a substantial financial risk of 25% or more of potential payments for each physician/physician group.
Comment: A commenter stated that if CMS is unable to eliminate the provisional supply requirement, CMS should furnish clarification regarding several issues. First, the commenter stated that previous technical guidance provided details around provisional supply being a lifetime edit; specifically, for medications prescribed by a precluded prescriber, this guidance clarified that beneficiaries who change pharmacies during a provisional supply period would still only receive one provisional supply of medication. Similarly, for beneficiaries who change plans within the same contract, if the plan sponsor or its PBM can determine via claims history that the beneficiary has already received a provisional supply, then the provisional supply requirement has been satisfied. The commenter asked CMS to confirm that these details from previous technical guidance still apply for provisional coverage. Second, if a single claim involves both a provisional supply and a transition supply, the commenter asked CMS to specify whether there will be a combination letter for the beneficiary notice. The commenter recommended that the notification process be kept separate for the two programs. The provisional supply notice would be less frequent than a transition letter, for only the initial dispensing event would trigger a letter advising the beneficiary of the issue with the prescriber. The transition notification should remain status quo and address the medication in question and educate the beneficiary about his/her appeal rights. Third, the proposed rule states that reasonable efforts must be made by the plan to the prescriber notifying them of a beneficiary who was sent a notice that the prescriber is being precluded. The commenter asked CMS to clarify whether this outreach is necessary given that CMS would have previously reached out to the prescriber prior to placement on the preclusion list. The commenter stated that CMS notes its intention to allow the normal Part D rules to apply for safety edits, prior authorization, quantity limits, etc., during the provisional coverage period. The commenter: (1) Contended that all appropriate edits for opioids should also apply during the provisional coverage period, as these are designed to prevent serious adverse events; and (2) recommended that all safety and utilization management edits remain the same during the provisional fill period, regardless of medication type (that is, opioids versus non-opioids).

End Amendment Part Start Authority Comment: A commenter opposed the restoration of the MA OEP to all MA enrollees. The commenter believed it would create a new special enrollment period for all MA-PD beneficiaries and offer an unlimited ability to switch MA plans or disenroll from MA, which conflicts with the proposed changes to limit SEP enrollments for those dually-eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The commenter recommended CMS consider retaining the current MADP and offer the OEP through March 31 of each year solely for dually eligible individuals in conjunction with the proposed rule to limit Part D SEP for the remainder of the year.

When a person’s benefits are “ceased” the individual receives a cash benefit for three months–the cessation month and two grace months-before payments stop.
As discussed in section II.A.7. of this rule, we are finalizing our proposal to revise §§ 422.66 and 422.68 by: Codifying the requirements for default enrollment that are currently set out in subregulatory guidance,[78] revising current practice to limit the use of this type of enrollment mechanism, and clarifying the effective date for ICEP elections. This will provide an MA organization the option to enroll its Medicaid managed care enrollees who are newly eligible for Medicare into an integrated D-SNP administered by the same MA organization that operates the Medicaid managed care plan. While the provision restricts its use to individuals in the organization’s Medicaid managed care plan that can be enrolled into an integrated D-SNP, the estimated burden for an organization that desires to use default enrollment and obtain CMS approval will not change. For those MA organizations that want to use this enrollment mechanism and request and obtain CMS approval, the administrative requirements will remain unchanged from the current practice.

Comment: Several commenters requested that CMS ensure beneficiaries are educated about the availability of tiering exceptions. Some commenters expressed a belief that there is little information available to beneficiaries about tiering exceptions, and that it is difficult to apply to individual situations. Comments offered several suggestions, including improving existing educational publications and information provided through 1-800-MEDICARE, providing information in plain language, and developing notices that provide information at the pharmacy counter. Some commenters stated that CMS should require plan sponsors to improve information provided in their member materials, and noted that plans and pharmacies have a responsibility for educating beneficiaries about the availability of tiering exceptions.

Job Search Basics Response: We thank the commenter for suggesting an approach in the IDR to improve identification of potential at-risk beneficiaries for CMS to consider.
Natural Resources Commission Based on the provisions discussed earlier regarding when prescriber agreement is required, we believe the plan sponsor must, as part of the required clinical assessment, obtain prescriber agreement to extend a prescriber lock-in beyond the initial 12 months. Prescriber agreement will also be required with respect to extending beneficiary-specific POS edits. However, as with the initial POS edit, one can be extended without prescriber agreement if no prescriber is responsive. Also, the plan sponsor will be required to send the at-risk beneficiary another second notice, indicating that the limitation is being extended, and that they continue to be considered as an at-risk beneficiary. Aside from the required prescriber agreement just described, a plan sponsor will have discretion as to how they clinically assess whether an at-risk beneficiary’s demonstrates whether they are no longer likely to be an at-risk beneficiary for prescription drug abuse in the absence of limitation at the conclusion of the initial 12 months of the limitation. This assessment might include a review of medical records or prescription drug monitoring program data, if available to the sponsor. Given that the plan sponsor will not be required to obtain prescriber agreement to extend pharmacy lock-in past the initial 12 month period, we expect the plan sponsor to have a clinical basis to extend the limitation, such as, the plan sponsor has recently rejected claims for frequently abused drugs from non-selected pharmacies to an extent that indicates the beneficiary may abuse frequently abused drugs without the limitation.

26–50	−0.48 (0.30)	−0.20 (0.27) One area where we initially aligned the commercial and Medicare MLR rules was the treatment of expenditures related to fraud reduction efforts, which we defined to include both fraud prevention and fraud recovery (78 FR 12433). The Medicare MLR regulations adopted the same definitions of activities that improve healthcare quality (also referred to as quality improvement activities, or QIA), as had been adopted in the commercial MLR regulations at 45 CFR 158.150 and 158.151 in order to facilitate uniform accounting for the costs of these activities across lines of business (78 FR 12435). Consistent with this policy of alignment, the Medicare MLR regulations at §§ 422.2430(b)(8) and 423.2430(b)(8) adopted the commercial MLR rules’ exclusion of fraud prevention activities from QIA. The Medicare MLR regulations (§§ 422.2420(b)(2)(ix) and 423.2420(b)(2)(viii)) further aligned with the commercial MLR rules’ treatment of fraud-related expenditures by allowing the amount of claim payments recovered through fraud reduction efforts, not to exceed the amount of fraud reduction expenses, to be included in the MLR numerator as a positive adjustment to incurred claims. The initial Medicare MLR proposed rule, published February 22, 2013 (78 FR 12433), explained that we considered this approach to be appropriate because without such an adjustment, the recovery of paid fraudulent claims would reduce an MLR and could create a disincentive to engage in fraud reduction efforts.

CMS anticipates some natural shift from reference biological products to biosimilar and interchangeable biological products, but biosimilar biological products’ price differential and market share are lower than that observed for small molecule generic drugs. Currently, Zarxio® data provide the only meaningful comparison available to date, as very limited data exist on the other nine approved (as of March 7, 2018) biosimilar biological products. The market dynamic between Neupogen® and Zarxio® has behaved consistent with CMS’ anticipation and CMS expects other biosimilar biological products to follow the similar pattern. Based on 2017 year-to-date data on the per script price difference between Neupogen® and Zarxio®, CMS estimated biosimilar biological products to be 16 percent less expensive than their reference biological product. CMS estimates this proposal will result in a minor shift of an additional 5 percent of prescriptions to biosimilar biological products by LIS enrollees under this proposal. Consequently, savings are not estimated to be significant at this time.

CONTOUR®NEXT, CONTOUR® or BREEZE®2 self-monitoring testing supplies are covered by Medicare: Comment: A few commenters expressed concern about the perceived punitive nature of the data integrity policies. A commenter suggested that contracts should be rewarded if they have near-perfect performance. For example, the commenter suggested that contracts that receive a 5-Star Rating on the Part D Appeals Timeliness measure and do not qualify for the Part D Appeals Upheld measure because they received less than 10 appeals, should automatically receive a 5-Star Rating on the Part D Appeals Upheld measure.

WB26078ST Medicare Supplement Articles Response: CMS appreciates the support of a hold harmless provision for a highly-rated contract’s highest rating. CMS is committed to providing a true signal of the overall quality to beneficiaries who use Medicare Plan Finder to aid in the selection of a plan that is right for them. Eliminating the use of one of the improvement measure ratings in calculating the overall rating has the potential to distort the signal for beneficiaries. The overall rating is designed as a global rating of the quality of both the health plan and prescription drug plan benefits for an MA-PD. While we do agree there is justification for a hold harmless provision for a highly-rated MA-PD, CMS is committed to preserving the integrity of the rating system. Removing one facet of the rating system (Part C or Part D improvement measure) while not the other, has the potential to undermine the primary function of the rating system. Therefore, we are not finalizing the revisions requested by the commenter(s).
Medicare changes: how did Medicare Part D change in 2019? You may be able to buy a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan to help pay for Medicare Part A and Part B out-of-pocket costs. Different Medicare Supplement plans pay for different amounts of those costs, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Some plans may include services that Medicare doesn’t generally cover–such as emergency medical care outside the United States. Keep in mind, however, a Medicare Supplement plan does not work with a Medicare Advantage plan, nor do Medicare Supplement plans sold today cover prescription drugs.
Response: We appreciate the requests for more direction; however, the very nature of these disparate inquiries and suggestions has lead us to conclude that we cannot provide bright line guidance at this level of detail that could address all the different scenarios. Part D plans have been administering prepackaged drug supplies since 2006 outside of transition, and we believe they have established policies and procedures to determine what constitutes at least a month’s supply of prepackaged drugs to be dispensed as a transition supply. For this reason, we believe the requested clarification is unnecessary.

As previously stated, because of the broad regulatory definition of marketing, the term marketing became synonymous with communications from the plan to enrollees or potential enrollees. As a result of our proposal to define both “marketing” and “communications,” we proposed a number of technical changes that we believe are necessary to update regulation text that uses the term marketing throughout parts 422 and 423. Accordingly, we proposed the following technical changes in Part C:

Referral: Iowa City/Madison See also Our proposal was intended to exclude from marketing any materials that do not include information about the plan’s benefit structure or cost-sharing. We believe that materials that do not mention benefit structure or cost sharing will not be used to make an enrollment decision in a specific Medicare plan, rather they will be used to drive beneficiaries to request additional information that will fall under the new definition of marketing. Similarly, we want to be sure it is clear that the use of measuring or ranking standards, such as the CMS Star Ratings, even when not accompanied by other plan benefit structure or cost sharing information, could lead a beneficiary to make an enrollment decision; we therefore proposed to exclude materials that do not have such rankings or measurements from marketing. In addition, we proposed to exclude materials that mention benefits or cost sharing but do not otherwise meet the proposed definition of marketing. The goal of this proposal is to exclude member communications that convey important factual information that is not intended to influence the enrollee’s decision to make a plan selection or to stay enrolled in their current plan. An example is a monthly newsletter to current enrollees reminding them of preventive services at $0 cost sharing.

The Center for Medicare Advocacy produces a range of informative materials on Medicare-related topics. Check them out: Since 2005, our regulation at § 423.120(a) has included access requirements for retail, home infusion, LTC, and I/T/U pharmacies. While non-retail pharmacies like home infusion and LTC pharmacies do not count toward the retail pharmacy access requirements, we allow Part D plan sponsors to count certain non-retail pharmacies, specifically I/T/U, FQHC, and RHC pharmacies toward the retail pharmacy access requirements (see 70 FR 4248). Consequently, in light of the rapidly evolving pharmacy practice landscape, and given that it expressly excludes only one type of non-retail pharmacy, that is, mail-order pharmacies, without a corresponding definition of that term, we believe that our definition of retail pharmacy has been a source of confusion.
Follow us on LinkedIn You will not be enrolling late, so you will not have any penalty. Comment: A commenter urged CMS to make two modifications to § 423.120(c)(5). First, the commenter suggested changes to new § 423.120(c)(5)(ii), which, as proposed, would require the sponsor at the point of sale to communicate whether a submitted NPI is active and valid to accommodate for long-term care (LTC) pharmacies where there is no point of sale. The commenter stated that this provision must contain a blanket exception for LTC pharmacies prohibiting the PDP or PBM from denying any claim by an LTC pharmacy. Second, the commenter sought revisions to new § 423.120(c)(5)(iii)(B), which, as proposed, would permit a PDP or its PBM to deny reimbursement to a pharmacy that dispensed a drug prescribed by a physician without an NPI number under certain conditions; the commenter stated that this provision must contain a similar blanket exception prohibiting the denial of LTC pharmacy claims in all circumstances, given other regulatory requirements mandating that the prescription be filled. The commenter stated that the aforementioned changes must also be made to the proposed MA regulations. By making these changes, the commenter contended, CMS can ensure that LTC pharmacies are able to meet beneficiary needs as well as comply with other legal requirements mandating the dispensing of medications to nursing home residents.
Selected Multimedia USLegal Home The broad takeaway from the proposal is that CMS has a clear goal to move ACOs more quickly into two-sided-risk models as the agency has noted that upside-only ACOs are not reducing costs and are costing Medicare money. “We project these changes will result in $2.24 billion in savings to Medicare program over next 10 years,” CMS Administrator Seema Verma stated at the time of the proposal.
Comment: Several commenters opposed our proposal to include all expenditures for fraud reduction activities in the MLR numerator as expenditures for QIA. Some commenters that opposed our proposal argued that the MLR is supposed to represent the proportion of revenue that is spent on medical costs or improving healthcare quality, whereas amounts spent on fraud prevention, detection, and recovery provide little value to beneficiaries and represent administrative expenses that are part of a plan sponsor’s cost of doing business. As such, the commenters argued the costs were not appropriate for inclusion in the numerator. Other commenters expressed concern that the proposal would encourage plans to adopt aggressive practices to reduce fraud, such as claim audits, that would ultimately increase provider burden.

11–25	0.59 (0.26, 1.35)	1.01 (0.37, 2.73) Articles & FAQs We proposed that under the clinical guidelines, prescribers associated with the same single Tax Identification Number (TIN) be counted as a single prescriber, because we have found under the current policy that such prescribers are typically in the same group practice that is coordinating the care of the patients served by it, and failing to do so would result in a high volume of false positives reported through OMS. Thus, it is appropriate to count such prescribers as one, so as not to identify beneficiaries through OMS who are not potentially at-risk.
Between 2000 and 2012, the percentage of Medicare decedents using hospice doubled (from 23% to 47%)5 and hospice expenditures quintupled (from $2.9 billion to about $15.1 billion),5 which raised budgetary concerns.6,7 This increase was particularly large among persons with noncancer diagnoses and those residing in nursing homes.8 The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission and the Office of Inspector General have expressed concern about hospice providers that may be selectively enrolling nursing home residents with longer hospice stays and less complex care needs, thereby generating higher profit margins.6,7 It is unknown how growth in the number of hospice patients residing in nursing homes has affected health care expenditures.
A reasonable time period for Part D sponsors/PBMs to incorporate the preclusion list into their claims adjudication systems, and whether and how our proposed regulatory text needs to be modified to accommodate such a time period.
Comment: We received comments requesting that CMS encourage plans to offer such flexibilities to beneficiaries with specific conditions (for example, dementia), stating that such flexibilities could help the ongoing treatment.
Accreditation Books & Software Medicare often covers expenses such as doctors’ services, medically necessary hospital visits, skilled nursing facilities, home health care, and hospice care for individuals ages 65 and up.
Topics (CFR Indexing Terms) In this final rule, CMS is adopting a reinterpretation of section 1854(h) of the Act and §§ 422.100(d)(2) and 422.262 to allow MA organizations the ability to vary supplemental benefits, in addition to premium and cost sharing, by segment, as long as the benefits, premium, and cost sharing are uniform within each segment of an MA plan’s service area. We have reviewed comments on our proposal and have considered these comments as we finalize the policy. Plans will be permitted to begin implementing this flexibility in CY 2019.

Why Elmcroft? In addition, this information may be discovered after the sponsor provided the beneficiary the initial notice. In such an event, the sponsor would send the beneficiary an alternate second notice that the beneficiary is not at-risk. To the comments about grouping by NPI, we clarify that under the current policy/OMS we use the NPI to first identify single prescribers, and then we further group single prescribers with the same single TIN. We will continue this methodology for the clinical guidelines under the drug management program. We appreciate the comment regarding real-time prescriber data, but we did not propose such a system for Part D prescribers.
