Subject: New webinar for states on moving to daily exchange of data on Medicare premium payments

 

Caution. This email is EXTERNAL.

Hi Leslie,

 

CMS’ State Data Resource Center (SDRC) recently released a webinar for states on the data exchanges with CMS to effectuate state payments of Medicare premiums (“buy-in”) for dually eligible individuals.  The webinar is a resource to support states moving to daily exchange of those data, and is available on the SDRC Buy-in File Exchange webpage. Please share this with interested stakeholders.

 

This presentation covers the Buy-In File exchange, with focus on the importance of daily file exchange, and includes lessons learned from Texas HHSC’s recent transition to daily exchanges. The Interoperability and Patient Access Final rule requires daily state-CMS data exchange to identify Medicare enrollees as well as which party – Medicare or Medicaid – is liable for paying each beneficiary’s Parts A and B premiums (commonly referred to as “buy-in” files). The table below lists the current frequency of buy-in file exchange in each state. For CMS technical assistance to help shift to daily submission of buy-in files, state staff should contact the CMS Office of Information Technology (xxxxxx@cms.hhs.gov) and copy (xxxxxx@cms.hhs.gov).

 

Frequency of Buy-In File Exchange with CMS by State

 

To learn about other CMS resources for states on buy-in, please check this CMS web page.

 

Thanks

Sharon
