Centers for Medicare & Medicaid

following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the Agency’s function;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Bid Pricing Tool
(BPT) for Medicare Advantage (MA)
Plans and Prescription Drug Plans
(PDP); Use: Under the Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), and
implementing regulations at 42 CFR,
Medicare Advantage organizations
(MAO) and Prescription Drug Plans
(PDP) are required to submit an
actuarial pricing ‘‘bid’’ for each plan
offered to Medicare beneficiaries for
approval by the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS).
Title I of the MMA established a
program to offer prescription drug
benefits to Medicare enrollees through
Prescription Drug Plans. MMA Title II
revised several aspects of the
Medicare+Choice program (renamed
Medicare Advantage), including the
payment methodology and the
introduction of ‘‘Regional’’ MA plans.
CMS payments to PDPs and MA plans
will be on a market-based competitive
approach.
MAOs and PDPs use the Bid Pricing
Tool (BPT) software to develop their
actuarial pricing bid. The information
provided in the BPT is the basis for the
plan’s enrollee premiums and CMS
payments for each contract year. The
tool collects data such as medical
expense development (from claims data
and/or manual rating), administrative
expenses, profit levels, and projected
plan enrollment information. By statute,
completed BPTs are due to CMS by the
first Monday of June each year.
CMS reviews and analyzes the
information provided on the Bid Pricing
Tool. Ultimately, CMS decides whether
to approve the plan pricing (i.e.,
payment and premium) proposed by
each organization. CMS is requesting to
