Short Statement: The main purpose of the revisions was to implement some changes in response to the Affordable Care Act, which eliminated Part B coinsurance and deductibles for the majority of preventative services. Additional updates were made to eliminate redundant information and make improvements to the cost reports. Please note that this updated version can not reflect any of the anticipated/future policy changes until they have been finalized and implemented. While plans are required to report Part B services not subject to coinsurance and deductible separately, CMS believes that this information has to be tracked and available to plans to make proper payments. In addition, CMS removed certain reporting requirements and automated the flow of certain figures. Therefore, the proposed changes will not change the level of effort needed to complete the forms.
