Services (CMS) is publishing the

1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Fee-for-Service
Recovery Audit Prepayment Review
Demonstration and Prior Authorization
Demonstration; Use: The Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
requesting the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval of the
collections required for two
demonstrations of prepayment review
and prior authorization. The first
demonstration would allow Medicare
Recovery Auditors to review claims on
a pre-payment basis in certain States.
The second demonstration would
establish a prior authorization program
for Power Mobility Device claims in
certain States.
For the Recovery Audit Prepayment
Review Demonstration, CMS and its
agents will request additional
documentation, including medical
records, to support submitted claims. As
discussed in more detail in Chapter 3 of
the Program Integrity Manual,
additional documentation includes any
medical documentation, beyond what is
included on the face of the claim that
supports the item or service that is
billed. For Medicare to consider
coverage and payment for any item or
service, the information submitted by
the provider or supplier (e.g., claims)
must be supported by the
documentation in the patient’s medical
records. When conducting complex
medical review, the contractor specifies
documentation they require in
accordance with Medicare’s rules and
policies. In addition, providers and
suppliers may supply additional
documentation not explicitly listed by
the contractor. This supporting
information may be requested by CMS
and its agents on a routine basis in
instances where diagnoses on a claim do
not clearly indicate medical necessity,
or if there is a suspicion of fraud.
For the Prior Authorization of Power
Mobility Devices (PMDs)
Demonstration, CMS will pilot prior
authorization for Power Mobility
Devices. Prior authorization will allow
the applicable documentation that
supports a claim to be submitted before
the item is delivered. For prior
authorization, relevant documentation
for review is submitted before the item
is delivered or the service is rendered.
CMS will conduct this demonstration in
California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan,
New York, North Carolina and Texas
based on beneficiary address as reported
to the Social Security Administration
and recorded in the Common Working
File (CWF). For the demonstration, a
prior authorization request can be
completed by the (ordering) physician
