This final rule approaches to improve the quality, accessibility and affordability of the Medicare Part C and Part D programs and to improve the CMS customer experience. While satisfaction with these programs remain high, these proposals are responsive to input we received from stakeholders while administering the program, as well as through a Request for Information process earlier this year. Additionally, this regulation includes a number of provisions that will help address the opioid epidemic and mitigate the impact of increasing drug prices in the Part D program.

The Late Enrollment Penalty As described in the proposed rule, this mechanism will be available to any MA organization that chooses to offer it. It will be potentially available to any beneficiary who wishes to join an MA plan offered by the same MA organization that offers his or her non-Medicare coverage at the time of his or her initial Medicare eligibility. The simplified enrollment mechanism aims to lessen the amount of information that an MA organization needs to collect from the beneficiary and to use information the MA organization already has. MA organizations that do not already have an existing relationship with an individual must collect all the necessary information in which to determine eligibility and process the enrollment request under § 422.60.

As a result, we scaled down our sub-regulatory guidance in order to gain more concise and useful information with which to evaluate the outcomes and show any sort of attribution. Over the years, we have modified the reporting requirements in an attempt to gain specific and quantifiable project goals, clear and concise results data, a favorable effect on enrollee health outcomes, and meaningful descriptions of how the MA organization will disseminate those results amongst the industry to promote best practices.

Comment: Several commenters sought clarification on how the preclusion list information would be shared with health plans. A commenter asked whether the preclusion list will be published on a public site or a restricted site that only plan sponsors can access. Another commenter requested that CMS clarify when the file layout and location of the preclusion list of prescribers will be available.
Response: We appreciate the commenter’s feedback. However, we do not believe the preclusion list approach will require the plans to invest more heavily in developing resources to combat fraud, waste, and abuse, as the plans would continue utilizing their current resources and processes for credentialing network providers and fighting fraud, waste and abuse. We note that the MA and Part D programs have compliance and fraud, waste and abuse monitoring requirements that exist separate from the preclusion list (and provider enrollment) policy; those requirements are not being increased under this final rule. Nor does this final rule increase the burdens on MA plans related to provider credentialing. If the requirement to enroll were to remain, Medicare health and drug plans would adjudicate claims based on review of Medicare’s enrollment data. Under the preclusion list approach, plans are completing the same task using preclusion data in place of enrollment data. The plans are not subject to any more burden than they would have been under the previous rule. CMS will maintain the responsibility of reviewing each provider and making the determination to place them on the list or not. Upon implementation of the preclusion list, there may be an increase in notification by plans to beneficiaries regarding the preclusion status of a provider they have received prescriptions or services from within the past 12-months. However, we believe this is only minimally more than the burden plans would have been subject to under the previous rule.

Dealing with Catastrophes Response: As previously discussed, dually eligible beneficiaries will have access to other SEPs, including the Part D SEP for dual and other LIS-eligible beneficiaries and the new SEP finalized in this rule at § 423.38(c)(10) that allows individuals who have been auto-enrolled, facilitated enrolled, passively enrolled, or reassigned into a plan by CMS or a state an opportunity to change plans.
After consideration of the comments received, we believe our proposed revisions to § 423.578(a)(6) regarding the limitations plans are permitted to establish for tiering exceptions strike an appropriate balance between allowing plans to manage their formularies and ensuring enrollee access to this statutory protection. These revisions prohibit plans from excluding generic drug tiers from their tiering exceptions procedures, and permit plans to limit tiering exceptions for brand name drugs to the lowest applicable cost sharing associated with preferred brand name alternatives, and tiering exceptions for biological products to the lowest applicable cost sharing associated with preferred biological product alternatives. We are finalizing the proposed revisions to § 423.578(a)(6) and the proposed definition of specialty tier at § 423.560 without modification, noting the clarification discussed above that plans are not required to treat the specialty tier as a preferred cost-sharing tier for purposes of tiering exceptions. CMS continues to explore ways to ensure Part D enrollees are able to access very high cost, medically necessary prescription drugs.

Passive enrollment flexibilities: Enrollees are relieved of the burden of filling out enrollment forms; plans are relieved of the burden of verifying eligibility and storage of these forms. There is a cost to enrollees of the ability to actively choose a new plan; this cost is minimized by the special election period afforded to enrollees and described in the two passive enrollment notifications. Additionally, if enrollees remain in the plan they are passively enrolled into, they will continue receiving services from an integrated D-SNP similar to the plan they previously chose.
