If there is a procedural defect, the defect may result in a dismissal or may require an opportunity for the appellant to resolve the defect. If an adjudication time frame applies to the case, a procedural defect may delay the start of, or extend, the adjudication time frame. When the procedural review is complete, and any identified defects have been resolved, and any applicable determinations have been made, the case moves forward in the adjudication process. Specialized procedural review is required for requests for expedited hearings in Part D appeals; however, a hearing may be scheduled before the screening is complete and any procedural defects are resolved, to facilitate meeting the expedited adjudication period. jspears on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES OCPM Chapter 6: CMS, CMS Contractor, Plan Roles—Sections 6.3.1.1, 6.3.2 This chapter was initially released on July 27, 2018, and was included in a quarterly notice published in the November 14, 2018 Federal Register (83 FR 56859). Sections 6.3.1.1 and 6.3.2 of this chapter state that a Unified Program Integrity Contractor (UPIC) cannot elect party status in an appeal, and may only participate as a non-party. As initially published, these sections cited to CMS’s Medicare Program Integrity Manual, internet-only manual publication 100– 08, chapter 4, section 4.8.2, which previously stated that a Zone Program Integrity Contractor (ZPIC) could not elect party status in an appeal, and section 4.1, which stated that all references to ZPICs shall also apply to UPICs, unless otherwise specified in the UPIC Statement of Work (SOW). Effective October 22, 2018, CMS revised the Medicare Program Integrity Manual to directly state that a UPIC cannot invoke party status, and can only participate in OMHA proceedings as a non-party. This revision to OCPM 6.3.1.1 and 6.3.2 updates footnotes in these sections to reflect the CMS manual’s revised language. This revision does not change the way that OMHA interprets or implements the underlying policy that a UPIC cannot elect party status. Dated: July 2, 2019. Karen W. Ames, Executive Director, Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals.
