or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
requires Federal agencies to publish a
60-day notice in the Federal Register

Information Collections
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Advantage Model of Care Submission
Requirements; Use: Section 1859(f)(7) of
the Act and 42 CFR 422.101(f)(3)
requires that all SNP MOCs be approved
by NCQA. This approval is based on
NCQA’s evaluation of SNPs’ MOC
narratives using MOC scoring
guidelines. Section 50311 of the BBA of
2018 modified the MOC requirements
for C–SNPs in section 1859 (f)(5)(B)(i-v)
of the Act, requiring them to submit on
an annual basis. The BBA mandated
additional changes for C–SNPs related
to care management, HRAs,
individualized care plans, a minimum
benchmark for scoring, etc., for which
CMS has applied these requirements to
all SNP types.
SNPs will submit initial and renewal
MOCs as well as summaries of any
substantive off-cycle MOC changes to
CMS through HPMS. This is the
platform that CMS uses to coordinate
communication and the collection of
information from MAOs.
NCQA and CMS will use information
collected in the SNP Application HPMS
module to review and approve MOC
narratives in order for an MAO to offer
a new SNP in the upcoming calendar
year(s). This information is used by
CMS as part of the MA SNP application
process. NCQA and CMS will use
information collected in the Renewal
Submission section of the HPMS MOC
module to review and approve the MOC
narrative for the SNP to receive a new
approval period and operate in the
upcoming calendar year(s). Form
Number: CMS–10565 (OMB control

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Request for
Termination of Medicare Premium Part
A, Part B, or Part B Immunosuppressive
Drug Coverage (Part B–ID) and
Supporting Statute and Regulations;
Use: Sections 1818(c)(5), 1818A(c)(2)(B)
and 1838(b)(1) of the Act and
corresponding regulations at 42 CFR
406.28(a) and 407.27(c) require that a
Medicare enrollee wishing to
voluntarily terminate Part B or premium
Part A coverage file a written request
with CMS or SSA. Pursuant to 1838(h)
of the Act and the corresponding
regulation at 42 CFR 407.62(a),
individuals wishing to terminate their
Part B–ID coverage must notify SSA.
The statute and regulations also specify
when coverage ends based upon the
date the request for termination is filed.
The CMS–1763 is the form used by
individuals who wish to terminate their
Medicare Part A, Part B or Part B–ID.
This 2024 iteration is a revision that
does not propose any program changes.
Per the Office of Communication’s plain
language suggestion, the title has been
updated to ‘‘Request for Termination of
Medicare Premium Part A, Part B, or
Part B Immunosuppressive Drug
Coverage (Part B–ID).’’ The 2024
submission saw an increase in the
burden due to utilization of the form
and improvement in the accuracy of the
data exchanges between CMS and SSA.
Updated wage information for a Federal
Government employee is also
responsible for part of the increase.
