8 Part C Report Changes Affecting Appeals and Grievances (A&G) Process

9 Part C Reporting Changes for A&G - Definitions Let First Review a few of the Reporting Rules and definitions: A grievance is defined in the CMS Managed Care Manual as Any complaint or dispute, other than an organization determination, expressing dissatisfaction with the manner in which a Medicare health plan or delegated entity provides health care services. Part C reporting, grievances are defined as those grievances completed during the reporting period.

10 Part C Reporting Changes for A&G Must Report Only those grievances processed in accordance with the grievance procedures outlined in 42 CFR Part 422, Subpart M (i.e., Part C grievances). Report grievances involving multiple issues under each applicable category. Report grievances if the member is ineligible on the date of the complaint or notification to the plan but was eligible on the date the incident occurred.

11 Part C Reporting Changes for A&G Do Not Report

12 Organization Determinations / Reconsiderations Reporting Now due on the Last Monday of February of the following year still requires a breakdown by quarter Two new data elements have been added: o #6.10, Number of Requests for Organization Determinations Dismissals o #6.20, Number of Requests for Reconsiderations Dismissals

13 Organization Determinations / Reconsiderations Reporting Dismissal A dismissal is an action taken when an organization determination or reconsideration request lacks required information or otherwise does not meet CMS requirements to be considered a valid request. The most common reasons for a Medicare plan s dismissal are: Lack of proper appointment of representative Failure of the enrollee or other party to file a timely appeal request No waiver of liability submitted with an appeal filed by a non-contract provider Failure to exhaust the prior level of adjudication

14 Organization Determinations / Reconsiderations Reporting Must Report Organization Determinations/Reconsiderations Reporting must Report: Completed Org Determinations. & Reconsiderations All Part B drug claims processed & paid by PBM are reported as org. determinations or reconsiderations. Re-openings across multiple reporting periods are reported in each applicable reporting period. Claims with multiple line items at the summary level. A request for payment as a separate and distinct org determination, even if a pre-service request for that same item or service was also processed. A denial of a Medicare request for coverage of an item or service as either partially favorable or adverse, Report denials based on exhaustion of Medicare benefits. In cases where an extension is requested after the required decision making timeframe has elapsed, the plan is to report the decision as non-timely. Dismissals

15 Organization Determinations / Reconsiderations Reporting Do Not Report Independent Review Entity (IRE) decisions. Re-openings requested or completed by the IRE, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), and Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC). Concurrent reviews during o Concurrent hospitalization o review of Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) o Home Health Agency (HHA) or o Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facility CORF care Duplicate payment requests concerning the same service or item. Payment requests returned to a provider/supplier in which a substantive decision (fully favorable, partially favorable or adverse) has not been made. Enrollee complaints only made through the CMS Complaints Tracking Module (CTM).
