Abstract: CMS can passively enroll certain dually eligible individuals currently enrolled in an integrated D-SNP into another integrated D-SNP, after consulting with the State Medicaid agency that contracts with the D-SNP or other integrated managed care plan, when CMS determines that the passive enrollment will promote continuity of care and integrated care. D-SNPs will be required to provide noticing to enrollees who are moved from an expiring D-SNP to a gaining D-SNP. This noticing will include two notices to individuals. The D-SNP must provide the first notice no fewer than 60 calendar days prior to the enrollment effective date and the second notice no fewer than 30 days prior to the enrollment effective date.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: As described above, in the April 2018 final rule (83 FR 16692), we estimated that there would be only four instances (373 D-SNPs × 0.01) in which CMS would conduct passive enrollment each year. Since we estimated fewer than 10 respondents, the information collection requirements and burden related to the final provisions under § 422.60(g)(1)(iii) were exempt (5 CFR 1320.3(c)) from the requirements of the PRA. In the November 2025 proposed rule, we amended our burden estimate and estimated that approximately 1 percent of the projected 1,100 active D-SNPs expected for CY 2027 would meet the revised criteria and operate in a market where the conditions for passive enrollment are met and where CMS, in consultation with a State Medicaid agency, implements passive enrollment. While the actual number of D-SNPs eligible for passive enrollment primarily depends on state procurement decisions for affiliated Medicaid managed care contracts, we estimated that there would be 11 instances (1,100 D-SNPs x 0.01) in which CMS would conduct passive enrollment each year.
