| 05-19676 | Privacy Act of 1974; Report of a New System of Records | Notice | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to create a new system titled, "Cancer Prevention and Treatment Demonstration for Ethnic and Racial Minorities (CPTD) System, System No. 09-70-0560." Section 122 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA) (Public Law (Pub. L.) 106-554) grants CMS the authority to award at least nine cooperative agreement demonstration projects that will identify methods to reduce disparities in early cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment for Black, Hispanic, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and American Indian (including Alaskan Native, Eskimo, and Aleut) Medicare beneficiary populations. Demonstration sites will use the best available scientific evidence to identify promising models of cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment interventions to promote health and appropriate utilization of Medicare covered services, eliminate disparities in cancer detection and treatment among ethnic and racial populations of Medicare beneficiaries, and provide information to improve the effectiveness of the Medicare program. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain demographic and cancer health-related data on Medicare target population beneficiaries who voluntarily enroll in the CPTD Project for Ethnic and Racial Minorities. This system will enable CMS to enroll eligible participants in the demonstration project; randomize participants into intervention and control groups; reimburse demonstration site service claims; and develop, maintain and analyze/evaluate research information showing the potential impact of providing cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment facilitation services to underserved Medicare beneficiaries. Information retrieved from this system may be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, reimbursement, and policy functions performed within the agency or by a contractor, grantee, consultant or other legal agent; (2) assist another Federal or state agency with information to enable such agency to administer a Federal health benefits program, or to enable such agency to fulfill a requirement of Federal statute or regulation that implements a health benefits program funded in whole or in part with Federal funds; (3) assist an individual or organization engaged in the performance activities of the demonstration or in a research project or in support of an evaluation project related to the prevention of disease or disability, the restoration or maintenance of health, or payment related projects; (4) support constituent requests made to a congressional representative; (5) support litigation involving the agency; and (6) combat fraud and abuse in certain health benefits programs. We have provided background information about the new system in the Supplementary Information section below. Although the Privacy Act requires only that CMS provide an opportunity for interested persons to comment on the proposed routine uses, CMS invites comments on all portions of this notice.
