purpose of linking VR data to Medicaid
claims; VR identifiers will not be used
for any other purpose. If VR birth
certificate and TAF linkages are
successful, CMCS will also request state
VR mortality data from a selection of
states to link maternal death records to
TAF data. Using current state linkages
of live births with death certificate data
to identify maternal and infant deaths
will support further research into better
understanding and reducing maternal
and infant morbidity and mortality.

contracts under 1876 to ‘‘submit data
regarding inpatient hospital services
. . . and data regarding other services
and other information as the Secretary
deems necessary’’ in order to implement
a methodology for ‘‘risk adjusting’’
payments made to MA organizations
and other entities. Risk adjustments to
enrollee monthly payments are made in
order to take into account ‘‘variations in
per capita costs based on [the] health
status’’ of the Medicare beneficiaries
enrolled in an MA plan.
CMS uses encounter data to develop
individual risk scores for risk adjusted
payment to MA organizations, PACE
organizations, and MMPs. Starting with
Payment Year (PY) 2016, CMS began to
blend risk scores calculated with Risk
Adjustment Processing Data and
Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) data
with risk scores calculated with
encounter data and FFS data, for risk
scores calculated under both the CMS–
HCC and the RxHCC models. In PY
2022, we will move to calculating risk
scores under both the CMS–HCC and
the RxHCC models using 100 percent of
the risk score calculated using
encounter data and FFS data.
All organizations required to submit
encounter data use an electronic
connection between the organization
and CMS to submit encounter data and
to receive information in return. CMS
collects the data from MA organizations,
1876 Cost Plans, MMPs and PACE
organizations in the X12N 837 5010
format for professional, DME, and
institutional, and dental services or
items provided to MA enrollees. Form

Therapy Management Program
Improvements—Standardized Format;
Use: Section 1860D–4(c)(2)(C)(i) of the
Act requires plan sponsors to offer MTM
services that include an annual CMR
with a written summary and action plan
provided in a standardized format
developed in consultation with
stakeholders. This requirement is
codified at § 423.153(d)(1)(vii)(D),
which requires that the standardized
action plan and summary comply with
requirements specified by CMS for the
standardized format. Components of the

CMR summary in Standardized Format
should include a cover letter,
personalized medication list, and action
plan if applicable.
Users include members in a Part D
sponsors’ plan who are eligible are
enrolled in the sponsors’ MTM program
and offered a CMR. The CMR is a
consultation between the MTM provider
(such as a pharmacist) with the
beneficiary to review their medications.
The MTM provider is either an
employee/contractor of the plan itself or
of a downstream entity contracted by
the plan to provide MTM services. After
a CMR is performed, the sponsor creates
and sends a summary of the CMR to the
beneficiary that includes a medication
action plan and personal medication list
using the Standardized Format.
Information collected by Part D MTM
programs as required by the
Standardized Format for the CMR
summary is used by beneficiaries or
their authorized representatives,
caregivers, and their healthcare
providers to improve medication use
and achieve better healthcare outcomes.
