CMS–10185 Medicare Part D
Reporting Requirements
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–
3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
The term ‘‘collection of information’’ is
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
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
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this
notice.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare Part D
Reporting Requirements; Use: Section
1860D–12(b)(3)(D) of the Act provides
broad authority for the Secretary to add
terms to the contracts with Part D
sponsors, including terms that require
the sponsor to provide the Secretary
with information as the Secretary may
find necessary and appropriate.
Pursuant to our statutory authority, we
codified these information collection
requirements for Part D sponsors in
regulation at 42 CFR 423.514(a).
Data collected via the Medicare Part D
reporting requirements will be an
integral resource for oversight,
monitoring, compliance, and auditing
activities necessary to ensure quality
provision of the Medicare Prescription
Drug Benefit to beneficiaries. For all
reporting sections (Enrollment and
Disenrollment, Medication Therapy
Management (MTM) Programs,
Grievances, Improving Drug Utilization
Review Controls, Coverage
Determinations and Redeterminations,
and Employer/Union Sponsored
Sponsors, and Medicare Prescription
Payment Plan), data are reported
electronically to CMS. The data
collected via the MTM and Grievances
reporting sections are used in the
Medicare Part C and D Star Ratings and
Display Measures. The other reporting
sections’ data are analyzed for program
oversight to ensure the availability,
accessibility, and acceptability of
