SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Contents

    This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated 
with the following information collections. More detailed information 
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated 
materials (see ADDRESSES).

CMS-10305 Medicare Part C and Part D Data Validation (42 CFR 422.516(g) 
and 423.514(g))

    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 C 
and Part D Data Validation (42 CFR 422.516(g) and 423.514(g)); Use: 
Medicare Part C and Part D sponsoring organizations (Medicare Advantage 
Organizations), must submit Medicare Part C, Medicare Part D, or 
Medicare Part C and Part D data (depending on the type of contracts 
they have in place with CMS). In order for the reported data to be 
useful for monitoring and performance measurement, the data must be 
reliable, valid, complete, and comparable among sponsoring 
organizations. To maintain the independence of the validation process, 
sponsoring organizations are responsible for hiring external, 
independent data validation contractors (DVCs) who meet a minimum set 
of qualifications and credentials. For the retrospective review in 
2018, the DVCs will review data submitted by sponsoring organizations 
for CY2017. The main changes for the 2018 DV are to eliminate the Part 
C/D reporting section Sponsor Oversight of Agents and adding the Part D 
reporting section Improving Drug Utilization Review
