The
Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–
503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C.
552a) by describing the manner in
which computer matching involving
Federal agencies could be performed
and adding certain protections for
individuals applying for and receiving
Federal benefits. Section 7201 of the
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1990 (Pub. L. 101–508) further amended
the Privacy Act regarding protections for
such individuals. The Privacy Act, as
amended, regulates the use of computer
matching by Federal agencies when
records in a system of records are
matched with other Federal, state, or
local government records. It requires
Federal agencies involved in computer
matching programs to:
1. Negotiate written agreements with
the other agencies participating in the
matching programs;
2. Obtain the Data Integrity Board
approval of the match agreements;
3. Furnish detailed reports about
matching programs to Congress and
OMB;
4. Notify applicants and beneficiaries
that their records are subject to
matching; and,
5. Verify match findings before
reducing, suspending, terminating, or
denying an individual’s benefits or
payments.

Medicare & Medicaid Services and the
Department of Defense, Defense
Manpower Data Center, for Verification
of Eligibility For Minimum Essential
Coverage Under The Patient Protection
And Affordable Care Act Through a

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Unclassified.
PARTICIPATING AGENCIES:
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), and the
Department of Defense (DoD), Defense

AUTHORITY FOR CONDUCTING MATCHING
PROGRAM:
Sections 1411 and 1413 of the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act of
2010 (Pub. L. 111–148), as amended by
the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–
152) (collectively, the ACA) require the
Secretary of HHS to establish a program
for applying for and determining
eligibility for applicable State health
subsidy programs and authorize the use
of secure, electronic interfaces and an
on-line system for the verification of
eligibility.
The Computer Matching and Privacy
Protection Act of 1988 (CMPPA) (Pub. L.
100–503), amended the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) and requires the parties
participating in a matching program to
execute a written agreement specifying
the terms and conditions under which
the matching will be conducted. CMS
has determined that status verification
checks to be conducted by the CMS
Federal Data Services Hub and
Federally-facilitated Exchange using the
data source provided to CMS by DoD
constitute a ‘‘computer matching
program’’ as defined in the CMPPA.
PURPOSE(S) OF THE MATCHING PROGRAM:
The purpose of the Computer
Matching Agreement is to establish the
terms, conditions, safeguards, and
procedures under which the DoD will
provide records, information, or data to
E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM
03MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 42 / Thursday, March 3, 2016 / Notices
CMS for verifying eligibility for
minimum essential coverage through a
TRICARE Health Care Program. A
TRICARE Health Care Program
constitutes minimum essential coverage
as defined in Section 5000A(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 26
U.S.C. 5000A, as amended by § 1501 of
the ACA. The DoD data will be used by
(1) CMS in its capacity as a Federallyfacilitated Exchange and the Federal
eligibility and enrollment platform, and
(2) agencies administering applicable
State health subsidy programs. These
entities will receive the results of
verifications using information received
by CMS through the CMS Federal Data
Services Hub from Applicants and
Enrollees that will be matched with the
DoD data.
DESCRIPTION OF RECORDS TO BE USED IN THE
MATCHING PROGRAM:
This computer matching program will
be conducted with data maintained by
CMS in the Health Insurance Exchanges
Program, CMS System No. 09–70–0560,
as amended. The system is described in
System of Records Notice published at
78 FR 63211 (Oct. 23, 2013).
This computer matching program will
also be conducted with data maintained
in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility
Reporting Systems (DEERS), System No.
DMDC 02 DoD, published November 04,
2015, 80 FR 68304, located at the DISA
DECC Columbus in Columbus, OH.

INCLUSIVE DATES OF THE MATCH:
This computer matching program will
become effective no sooner than 40 days
after the report of the computer
matching program is sent to the Office

ACTION:
Notice.
Like the Consumer Health
Data Aggregator Challenge, the Provider
User-Experience Challenge incents the
development of applications for health
care providers that use open,
standardized APIs to enable innovative
ways for providers to interact with
patient health data. This challenge will
focus on demonstrating how data made
accessible to apps through Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) can
positively impact providers’ experience
with EHRs by making clinical
workflows more intuitive, specific to
clinical specialty, and actionable. The
statutory authority for this challenge
competition is Section 105 of the
America COMPETES Reauthorization
Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–358).

Subject of Challenge Competition
The Provider User-Experience
Challenge is intended to spur
development of third-party applications
for use by clinicians and use FHIR to
pull various patient health data into a
dashboard. The challenge has two
phases—the first requiring submission
of technical and business plans for the
application (app), the second a working
app that is available for providers. Phase
2 of the competition will not be limited
to only those who won Phase 1—all
Phase 1 competitors, and those who did
not participate in Phase 1, can submit a
final app at the end of Phase 2.
The final application must meet the
following requirements:
• Uses FHIR Draft Standard for
Technical Use 2 (DSTU2)
• Aggregate all data as specified in the
2015 Edition Common Clinical Data
Set (Data column in https://www.
healthit.gov/sites/default/files/
PO 00000
Frm 00105

• Verified compatibility with different
health IT developer systems
implemented in production settings, 1
of which must be from the top 10
systems measured by Meaningful Use
attestation per HealthIT.gov. Apps
must be integrated with a minimum of
3 unique health IT developer systems
in 2 unique provider settings
• Has been tested with patients and
used in production settings
• Available to providers through at least
one of the following modes: Direct
from Web, iOS Store, or Android
stores
Phase 1
Participants interested in competing
for Phase 1 awards will need to submit
an app development plan that must
include:
• Mockup/wireframes
• Technical specifications, including
but not limited to planned data
sources, system architecture
• Business/sustainability plan
• Provider partnership
To augment technical development
and enhance the likelihood of a
successful app that will continue to
exist beyond the end of the challenge,
a progress update/matchmaking event
will be held that will seek to connect
participants with provider partners. Up
to five app proposals will be recognized
as winners and awarded up to $15,000
each.
Phase 2
The second phase will entail the
actual development of the apps,
verification of technical capabilities,
user testing/piloting, and public release
of the apps. This will include remote
testing with providers and health IT
developers to test the technical abilities
of the apps to connect to in-production
systems. Participants will submit:
• Working prototype of the app
• Video demonstrating the app
(maximum of 5 minutes, on YouTube
or Vimeo)
• Slide deck describing app (maximum
of 10 slides)
The grand prize winner will receive
$50,000 and a second place winner will
receive $25,000. There will be an
additional $25,000 prize for the app that
connects to the greatest number of
unique health IT developer systems
implemented in production settings,
which can be won by the grand or 2nd
place winner.
