the remains or remove a memorial
headstone or marker becomes final
either by failure of the next of kin or
personal representative to appeal the
decision or by final disposition of the
appeal. In such cases, the cemetery
director shall take the following actions:
(1) In the case of disinterment, the
cemetery director will contact the next
of kin or personal representative to
coordinate the transfer of remains from
the national cemetery to another
location. The next of kin or personal
representative will have 30 days to
respond to the cemetery director.
(i) If the next of kin or personal
representative responds to the notice
within the 30-day period, the cemetery
director will coordinate a date and time
for the disinterment and release of the
decedent’s remains to the next of kin or
personal representative for transport
from the national cemetery to a place
determined by the next of kin or
personal representative. The cemetery
director will perform the disinterment.
The next of kin or personal
representative will bear responsibility
and cost for transportation of the
remains from the cemetery, including
compliance with applicable state laws
concerning the disinterment and
transport of remains from the national
cemetery, and any costs associated with
the subsequent disposition of remains.
(ii) If the next of kin or personal
representative does not respond to the
notice within the 30-day period,
indicates refusal to accept the
decedent’s remains, or fails to appear,
the cemetery director will determine a
suitable cemetery for the disposition of
the decedent’s remains and, at
government expense, will make all
necessary arrangements to disinter,
transport, reinter, and mark the grave of
the decedent with a non-government
headstone or marker within a reasonable
time frame. The non-government
headstone or marker will include the
decedent’s name, date of birth, and date
of death. The cemetery director will
then notify the next of kin or personal
representative of the date and time on
which the disinterment was performed
and the new location of the decedent’s
remains.
(2) In the case of a memorial
headstone or marker, the cemetery
director will remove the headstone or
marker from the cemetery and notify the
next of kin or personal representative of
the date on which this action was taken.

Medicare Program; Alternative
Payment Model (APM) Incentive
Payment Advisory for Clinicians—
Request for Current Billing Information
for Qualifying APM Participants
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS), Health and
Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Payment advisory.
AGENCY:
This advisory is to alert
certain clinicians who are Qualifying
APM participants (QPs) and have
earned an Alternative Payment Model
(APM) Incentive Payment that CMS
does not have the current information
needed to disburse the payment. This
advisory provides information to QPs on
how to update their Medicare billing
information so that CMS can disburse
APM Incentive Payments.
DATES: July 17, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tanya Dorm, (410) 786–2216.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Under the Medicare Quality Payment
Program, an eligible clinician who
participates in an Advanced Alternative
Payment Model (APM) and meets or
exceeds the applicable payment amount
or patient count thresholds for a
performance period is a Qualifying APM
Participant (QP) for that year. For
payment years 2020 through 2026,
which respectively correspond to the
QP Performance Periods for 2018
through 2023, an eligible clinician who
attains QP status for a year earns a lump
sum APM Incentive Payment that is
paid in the payment year. For payment
years 2020 through 2024, the amount of
the APM Incentive Payment is equal to
5 percent of the estimated aggregate
paid amounts for covered professional
services furnished by the QP during the
calendar year immediately preceding
the payment year.
II. Provisions of the Advisory
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) has identified those
eligible clinicians who attained QP
status in the 2022 performance period
and earned a 5 percent APM Incentive
Payment for the 2024 payment year
based on aggregate paid amounts for the
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
58071
covered professional services they
furnished in the CY 2023 base period.
When CMS processed the 2024 APM
Incentive Payments, CMS was unable to
identify a Taxpayer Identification
Number (TIN) or TINs associated with
some QPs, and was therefore unable to
disburse the payment. To successfully
issue the APM Incentive Payment for
the 2024 payment year, CMS is
requesting assistance identifying current
Medicare billing information for these
QPs in accordance with 42 CFR
414.1450(c)(8).
CMS has compiled a list of QPs for
whom we were unable to identify any
associated TIN to which we can make
the APM Incentive Payment. These QPs,
and any others who anticipated
receiving an APM Incentive Payment
but have not, should follow the
instructions to provide CMS with
updated Medicare billing information at
the following web address: https://qppcm-prod-content.s3.amazonaws.com/
uploads/2924/2024-QP-Notice-for-APMIncentive-Payment.zip.
If you have any questions concerning
submission of information through the
QPP website, please contact the Quality
Payment Program Help Desk at 1–866–
288–8292.
All information must be received by
September 1, 2024. After that date, any
claim to an APM Incentive Payment for
the 2024 payment period based on an
eligible clinician’s QP status for the
2022 QP Performance Period will be
forfeited. To facilitate payment, please
include all required documentation as
specified in the previous link. If CMS is
still unable to process the APM
Incentive Payment based on the
Medicare billing information received in
response to this advisory, the submitter
will not be notified.
CMS will hold all timely submitted
information and process the remaining
2024 APM Incentive Payments
simultaneously as soon as possible after
the deadline. It may take up to 3 months
to complete the validation and
verification process before these APM
Incentive Payments are disbursed.
III. Collection of Information
Requirements
This advisory is intended to alert
certain QPs that CMS is requesting
assistance identifying current Medicare
billing information so that we can
disburse APM Incentive Payments. This
request for follow-up information is
exempt from the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) as specified under
implementing regulation 5 CFR
1320.3(h)(9) with regard to the
clarification of responses.
