The Government Management and Reform Act of 1994 requires that all offices, bureaus and associated activities of the 24 CFO Act agencies must be covered in an agencywide, audited financial statement. Collection of CHIP data and the calculation of the CHIP Incurred But Not Reported (IBNR) estimate are pertinent to CMS’ financial audit. The CHIP Report on Payables and Receivables will provide the information needed to calculate the CHIP IBNR. Failure to collect this information could result in noncompliance with the law.

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies 
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension 
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before

    1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of 
a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: 
Medicare Plus Choice Program Requirements Referenced in 42 CFR 422.000-
422.700; Use: The information collection requirements are mandated by 
42 CFR part 422. Section 4001 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA) 
added sections 1851 through 1859 to the Social Security Act to 
establish the Managed Care program. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP 
Benefits Improvement Act and Protection Act of 2000, Public Law 106-554 
added requirements to the Managed Care program. The Medicare 
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 
108-173) created the Medicare Advantage program.
    A major goal of the Medicare Advantage program is to provide ease 
of access for Original Medicare beneficiaries who wish to enroll in a 
Medicare Advantage program. Certain populations of beneficiaries such 
as the dually eligible population (those beneficiaries enrolled in both 
Medicaid and Medicare) have grown since the program was created and 
these populations require more flexibilities.
    MA organizations (formerly M+C organizations) and potential MA 
organizations (applicants) use the information collected based on the 
regulations at 42 CFR part 422 to comply with the application 
requirements and the MA contract requirements. CMS uses the information 
collected based on the regulations at 42 CFR part 422 to approve 
contract applications, monitor compliance with contract requirements, 
make proper payment to MA organizations, determine compliance with the 
new prescription drug benefit requirements established by the MMA, and 
to ensure that correct information is disclosed to Medicare 
beneficiaries, both potential enrollees and enrollees.
    Information supplied by organizations is used to determine 
eligibility for contracting with CMS, for determining compliance with 
contract requirements, and for calculating proper payment to the 
organizations. Information supplied by Medicare beneficiaries is used 
to determine eligibility to enroll in the M+C organization and to 
determine proper payment to the organization that enrolled the 
beneficiary. Separate OMB approval was sought for each form as 
required.

minimum criteria for dual eligible special needs plans (D-SNPs) to 
integrate Medicare and Medicaid benefits detailed in Section 50311(b) 
of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 and set forth in in Final rule 
(CMS-4185-F, RIN 0938-AT59) for CY2020 and 2021. The integration 
requirements improve care coordination, quality of care, and 
beneficiary satisfaction while reducing administrative burden. Form

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal Governments; Number of 
Respondents: 6,727,508; Total Annual Responses: 6,750,814; Total Annual 
Hours: 1,848,180. (For policy questions regarding this collection

    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of 
a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: 
Medication Therapy Management Program Improvements--Standardized 
Format; Use: The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) under title 
42 CFR part 423, subpart D, establishes the requirements that Part D 
sponsors, an organization which has one or more contract(s) with CMS to 
provide Part D benefits to Medicare beneficiaries, must meet with 
regard to cost control and quality improvement including requirements 
for medication therapy management (MTM) programs. MTM is a patient-
centric and comprehensive approach to improve medication use, reduce 
the risk of adverse events, and improve medication adherence. At 
minimum, a Part D sponsors' MTM program must offer to its enrollees an 
annual comprehensive medication review with written summaries, 
quarterly targeted medication reviews, and follow-up interventions for 
both beneficiaries and prescribers when necessary.

providers to improve medication use and achieve better healthcare 
outcomes. The Standardized Format must comply with applicable industry

interchange, and should enable CMR data elements to be captured for 
clinical, reporting or measurement purposes.
    After a CMR is performed, the sponsor creates and sends a summary

and personal medication list using the Standardized Format. The 
information users are beneficiaries or their authorized 
representatives, caregivers, and their healthcare providers as stated
