Medicare Plan Reporting Burden
CMS is proposing a revision to Medicare Part C and Part D reporting requirements that apply to Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) and Part D sponsors. The collection is yearly (Form CMS-10185, OMB control number 0938-0992) and lists 758 respondents, 35,196 total annual responses, and 88,504 total annual hours of burden.
Data Used for Medicare Oversight & Ratings
CMS says the data collected from MAOs and Part D sponsors will be used by CMS and other stakeholders for oversight, monitoring, compliance, and performance evaluation. Reported data may be used for Medicare Part C and D Star Ratings and Display Measures and analyzed for program oversight to help ensure the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of sponsors' services.
