CMS determines that the records are
both relevant and necessary to the
litigation and that the use of such
records by the DOJ, court or
adjudicatory body is compatible with
the purpose for which the agency
collected the records.
10. To a CMS contractor (including,
but not necessarily limited to fiscal
intermediaries and carriers) that assists
in the administration of a CMSadministered health benefits program,
or to a grantee of a CMS-administered
grant program, when disclosure is
deemed reasonably necessary by CMS to
prevent, deter, discover, detect,
investigate, examine, prosecute, sue
with respect to, defend against, correct,
remedy, or otherwise combat fraud or
abuse in such program.
11. To another Federal agency or to an
instrumentality of any governmental
jurisdiction within or under the control
of the United States (including any State
or local governmental agency), that
administers, or that has the authority to
investigate potential fraud or abuse in,
a health benefits program funded in
whole or in part by Federal funds, when
disclosure is deemed reasonably
necessary by CMS to prevent, deter,
discover, detect, investigate, examine,
prosecute, sue with respect to, defend
against, correct, remedy, or otherwise
combat fraud or abuse in such programs.
B. Additional Provisions Affecting
Routine Use Disclosures: To the extent
this system contains Protected Health
Information (PHI) as defined by HHS
regulation ‘‘Standards for Privacy of
Individually Identifiable Health
Information’’ (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164,
Subparts A and E) 65 FR 82462 (12–28–
00). Disclosures of such PHI that are
otherwise authorized by these routine
uses may only be made if, and as,
permitted or required by the ‘‘Standards
for Privacy of Individually Identifiable
Health Information.’’ (See 45 CFR 164–
512(a)(1)).
In addition, our policy will be to
prohibit release even of data not directly
identifiable, except pursuant to one of
the routine uses or if required by law,
if we determine there is a possibility
that an individual can be identified
through implicit deduction based on
small cell sizes (instances where the
patient population is so small that
individuals who are familiar with the
enrollees could, because of the small
size, use this information to deduce the
identity of the beneficiary).
POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING,
RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, AND
DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
All records are stored electronically.

RETRIEVABILITY:
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:
All Medicare records are accessible by
HICN, and SSN search. This system
supports both on-line and batch access.
For purpose of access, the subject
individual should write to the system
manager who will require the system
name, HICN, address, date of birth, and
gender, and for verification purposes,
the subject individual’s name (woman’s
maiden name, if applicable), and SSN.
Furnishing the SSN is voluntary, but it
may make searching for a record easier
and prevent delay.
SAFEGUARDS:
CMS has safeguards in place for
authorized users and monitors such
users to ensure against excessive or
unauthorized use. Personnel having
access to the system have been trained
in the Privacy Act and information
security requirements. Employees who
maintain records in this system are
instructed not to release data until the
intended recipient agrees to implement
appropriate management, operational
and technical safeguards sufficient to
protect the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of the information and
information systems and to prevent
unauthorized access.
This system will conform to all
applicable Federal laws and regulations
and Federal, HHS, and CMS policies
and standards as they relate to
information security and data privacy.
These laws and regulations may apply
but are not limited to: The Privacy Act
of 1974; the Federal Information
Security Management Act of 2002; the
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986;
the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996; the EGovernment Act of 2002; the ClingerCohen Act of 1996; the Medicare
Modernization Act of 2003, and the
corresponding implementing
regulations. OMB Circular A–130,
Management of Federal Resources,
Appendix III, Security of Federal
Automated Information Resources also
applies. Federal, HHS, and CMS
policies and standards include but are
not limited to: All pertinent National
Institute of Standards and Technology
publications; the HHS Information
Systems Program Handbook and the
CMS Information Security Handbook.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURE:
For purpose of access, use the same
procedures outlined in Notification
Procedures above. Requestors should
also specify the record contents being
sought. (These procedures are in
accordance with department regulation
45 CFR 5b.5(a)(2)).
CONTESTING RECORDS PROCEDURES:
The subject individual should contact
the system manager named above, and
reasonably identify the records and
specify the information to be contested.
State the corrective action sought and
the reasons for the correction with
supporting justification. (These
Procedures are in accordance with
Department regulation 45 CFR 5b.7).
RECORDS SOURCE CATEGORIES:
The data contained in this system of
records are extracted from other CMS
systems of records: Enrollment
Database, Medicare Advantage
Prescription Drug System, and the
Medicaid Statistical Information
System. Information will also be
provided from the application
submitted by the individual through
state Medicaid agencies, the Social
Security Administration and through
other entities assisting beneficiaries.

application process, and other

I. Description
Legislative Authority: Title III of the
Child Abuse Amendments of 1984 (Pub.
L. 98–457, 42 U.S.C. 10401 et seq.) is
entitled the ‘‘Family Violence
Prevention and Services Act’’ (FVPSA).
FVPSA was first implemented in FY
1986. The statute was subsequently
amended by Public Law 100–294, the
‘‘Child Abuse Prevention, Adoptions,
and Family Services Act of 1988;’’
further amended in 1992 by Public Law
102–295; and then amended in 1994 by
Public Law 103–322, the ‘‘Violent Crime
Control and Law Enforcement Act.’’
FVPSA was amended again in 1996 by
Public Law 104–235, the ‘‘Child Abuse
Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA)
of 1996; in 2000 by Public Law 106–386,
the ‘‘Victims of Trafficking and Violence
Protection Act,’’ and amended further
by Public Law 108–36, the ‘‘Keeping
Children and Families Safe Act of
2003.’’ FVPSA was most recently
amended by Public Law 109–162, the
‘‘Violence Against Women and
Department of Justice Reauthorization
Act of 2005.’’
FVPSA may be found at 42 U.S.C.
10401 et seq.
The purpose of this legislation is to
assist States and Indian Tribes, Tribal
organizations, and non-profit private
organizations approved by an Indian
Tribe in supporting the establishment,
maintenance, and expansion of
programs and projects to prevent
incidents of family violence and to
provide immediate shelter and related
assistance for victims of family violence
and their dependents.
Background
During FY 2005, 237 grants were
made to States and Indian Tribes, Tribal
organizations, non-profit private
organizations approved by Indian
Tribes. The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) also made 53
family violence prevention grant awards
to non-profit State domestic violence
coalitions.
In addition, HHS supports the
National Resource Center for Domestic
Violence (NRC) and four Special Issue
Resource Centers (SIRCs). The four
SIRCs are the Battered Women’s Justice
Project, the Resource Center on Child
Custody and Protection, Sacred Circle
Resource Center for the Elimination of
Domestic Violence Against Native
Women, and the Health Resource Center
on Domestic Violence. The purpose of
NRC and SIRCs is to provide resource
information, training, and technical

assistance to Federal, State, and Native
American agencies, local domestic
violence prevention programs, and other
professionals who provide services to
victims of domestic violence.
In February 1996, HHS funded the
National Domestic Violence Hotline
(NDVH) to ensure that every woman has
access to information and emergency
assistance wherever and whenever she
needs it. NDVH is a 24-hour, toll-free
service that provides crisis assistance,
counseling, and local shelter referrals to
women across the country. Hotline
counselors also are available for nonEnglish speaking persons and for people
who are hearing-impaired. The Hotline
number is 1–800–799–SAFE (7233); the
TTY number for the hearing-impaired is
1–800–787–3224.
