The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS),
proposes to modify an existing system
of records subject to the Privacy Act,
System No. 09–70–0541, titled Medicaid
Statistical Information System (MSIS).
This system of records covers the
national Medicaid dataset, consisting of
standardized enrollment, eligibility, and
paid claims data about Medicaid
recipients which is used to administer
Medicaid at the federal level, produce
statistical reports, support Medicaid
related research, and assist in the
detection of fraud and abuse in the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. CMS
is changing the name of the system of
records to Transformed-Medicaid
Statistical Information System (T–MSIS)
and making other modifications which
are explained below.
DATES: In accordance with 5 United
States Code (U.S.C.) 552a(e)(4) and (11),
this notice is applicable February 6,
2019, subject to a 30-day period in
which to comment on the routine uses.
Submit any comments by March 8,
2019.
SUMMARY:
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
Written comments should
be submitted by mail or email to: CMS
Privacy Act Officer, Division of
Security, Privacy Policy & Governance,
Information Security & Privacy Group,
Office of Information Technology, CMS,
Location N1–14–56, 7500 Security
Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21244–1870, or
walter.stone@cms.hhs.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General questions about the system of
records may be submitted to Darlene
Anderson, Health Insurance Specialist,
Data and Systems Group, Center for
Medicaid and CHIP Services (CMCS),
CMS, Mail Stop S2–22–16, 7500

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Program and IT System Changes
Prompting this SORN Modification
The Transformed Medicaid Statistical
Information System (T–MSIS) is
replacing the Medicaid Statistical
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Information System (MSIS) as the
information technology (IT) system that
houses the national Medicaid dataset. It
is a joint effort by the states and CMS
to build an improved Medicaid dataset
that addresses problems identified with
Medicaid data in MSIS. T–MSIS
provides improved program monitoring
and oversight, technical assistance with
states, policy implementation, and datadriven and high-quality Medicaid and
CHIP programs that ensure better care,
access to coverage, and improved
health.
To improve Medicaid program
oversight, CMS is requiring states to
submit new files and data elements in
T–MSIS which were not collected in
MSIS, for the purpose of improving the
quality of the data extracts the states
submit to CMS on a quarterly or other
periodic basis. Following consultation
with a wide array of stakeholders, CMS
established over 1,000 data elements for
T–MSIS. This expands on the
approximately 400 data elements
collected in MSIS. T–MSIS builds on
the original five MSIS files, consisting of
eligibility files and four types of claims
files (inpatient, long-term care,
pharmacy, and other), by adding files
for third-party liability, managed-care
plans, and Medicaid providers, and by
adding T–MSIS analytic files (TAF).
Currently, each state submits five
extracts to CMS on a quarterly basis.
These data are used by CMS to assist in
federal reporting for the Medicaid and
Children’s Health Insurance Program
(CHIP). Several reasons culminated in
the CMS mission to improve the
Medicaid dataset repository, including
incomplete data, questionable results,
multiple data collections from states,
multiple federal data platforms and
analytic difficulties in interpreting and
presenting the results. In addition,
timeliness issues have prompted CMS to
re-evaluate its processes and move
toward a streamlined delivery, along
with an enhanced data repository. The
new T–MSIS extract format is expected
to further CMS goals for improved
timeliness, reliability and robustness
through monthly updates and an
increase in the amount of data
requested.
II. Modifications to SORN 09–70–0541
The following modifications have
been made to SORN 09–70–0541 in
order to reflect changes to the system of
records resulting from the IT system
change from MSIS to T–MSIS and to
update the SORN generally:
• The SORN has been reformatted to
conform to the revised template
prescribed in OMB Circular A–108,
issued December 23, 2016.
