Increase in respondents: For contract year 2012, CMS expects a slight increase in initial applicants and SAE applications based on CY 2011 application submissions, and a major increase in the number SNP proposal submissions. Increase Burden of Hours: An additional 2 hours of burden was added to the base MA application. This increase stems from changes in regulations at 42 CFR 422 with regards to the compliance plans and quality improvement plans. CMS made an internal decision to have organizations' submit its compliance plan and quality improvement program plans as a part of the application process. CMS believes having this information will help us evaluation an organization understanding of the MA programs and the organization's readiness to serve beneficiaries as a MA contractor. CMS has also made an internal decision to have MA contractors that are currently offering a SNP product to complete and submit a modified SNP proposal. CMS believes having this information will help us better evaluate the quality of health care being offered across all SNP programs.
