the CMS–855B Medicare enrollment

the supplier is, whether the supplier
meets certain qualifications to be a
Medicare health care provider or
supplier, where the supplier practices or
renders services, and other information
necessary to establish correct claims
payments.

and consists of limited data fields
(name, Social Security Number,
National Provider Identifier, and license
number) in response to the ‘‘SUPPORT
for Patients and Communities Act’’ that
was signed into law on October 24,
2018. This legislation was designed to
alleviate the nationwide opioid crisis
by: (1) Reducing the abuse and supply
of opioids; (2) helping individuals
recover from opioid addiction and
supporting the families of these persons;

Software and Formulary Submission;
Use: Under the Medicare Modernization
Act (MMA), Medicare Advantage (MA)
and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP)
organizations are required to submit
plan benefit packages for all Medicare
beneficiaries residing in their service
area. The plan benefit package
submission consists of the Plan Benefit
Package (PBP) software, formulary file,
and supporting documentation, as
necessary. MA and PDP organizations
use the PBP software to describe their
organization’s plan benefit packages,
including information on premiums,
cost sharing, authorization rules, and
supplemental benefits. They also
generate a formulary to describe their
list of drugs, including information on
prior authorization, step therapy,
tiering, and quantity limits.
CMS requires that MA and PDP
organizations submit a completed PBP
and formulary as part of the annual
bidding process. During this process,
organizations prepare their proposed
plan benefit packages for the upcoming
contract year and submit them to CMS
for review and approval. CMS uses this
data to review and approve the benefit
packages that the plans will offer to
Medicare beneficiaries. This allows
CMS to review the benefit packages in
a consistent way across all submitted
bids during with incredibly tight
timeframes. This data is also used to
populate data on Medicare Plan Finder,
which allows beneficiaries to access and
compare Medicare Advantage and
Prescription Drug plans. Form Number:
CMS–R–262 (OMB control number:
0938–0763); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
