Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 132 / Friday, July 10, 2015 / Notices
remedies within SSA and HHS have
been exhausted.
Sections 1869, 1155, 1876(c)(5)(B),
1852(g)(5), and 1860D–4(h) of the Act
are implemented through the
regulations at 42 CFR part 405 subparts
I and J; part 417, subpart Q; part 422,
subpart M; part 423, subparts M and U;
and part 478, subpart B. As noted above,
OMHA administers the nationwide
Administrative Law Judge hearing
program in accordance with these
statutes and applicable regulations. As
part of that effort, OMHA is establishing
a manual, the OMHA Case Processing
Manual (OCPM). Through the OCPM,
the OMHA Chief Administrative Law
Judge establishes the day-to-day
procedures for carrying out adjudicative
functions, in accordance with
applicable statutes, regulations and
OMHA directives. The OCPM provides
direction for processing appeals at the
OMHA level of adjudication for
Medicare Part A and B claims; Part C
organization determinations; Part D
coverage determinations; and SSA
eligibility and entitlement, Part B late
enrollment penalty, and IRMAA
determinations.
Section 1871(c) of the Act requires
that we publish a list of all Medicare
manual instructions, interpretive rules,
statements of policy, and guidelines of
general applicability not issued as
regulations at least every 3 months in
the Federal Register.

II. Format for the Quarterly Issuance
Notices
This quarterly notice announces the
publication of the initial OCPM
chapters. A hyperlink to the available
chapters on the OMHA Web site is
provided below. The OMHA Web site
contains the most current, up-to-date
chapters and revisions to chapters, and
will be available earlier than we publish
our quarterly notice. We believe the
OMHA Web site list provides more
timely access to the current OCPM
chapters for those involved in the
Medicare claim, organization and
coverage determination and entitlement
appeals processes. We also believe the
Web site offers the public a more
convenient tool for real time access to
current OCPM provisions. In addition,
OMHA has a listserv to which the
public can subscribe to receive
immediate notification of any updates to
the OMHA Web site. This listserv
avoids the need to check the OMHA
Web site, as update notifications are
sent to subscribers as they occur. If
accessing the OMHA Web site proves to
be difficult, the contact person listed
above can provide the information.

III. How To Use the Notice

quarter covered by the notice so the

of particular interest. We expect this
notice to be used in concert with future
published notices. The OCPM can be

IV. OCPM Releases for March Through
June 2015

adjudicators and staff to administer the
OMHA program. It offers day-to-day

notices, we will list only the specific
