| E7-12680 | 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 establish a new system titled, "State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) National Performance Report (SHIP- NPR)," System No. 09-70-0510. The demands, expectations and funding for the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) increased under the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). Under this increase CMS is now required to implement an improved performance measurement system to manage the program effectively. This includes increased access to personalized counseling services by beneficiaries and enrollment assistance provided to beneficiaries in the MMA. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain information on how beneficiaries use SHIP services, which includes individually identifiable information on Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries who have contacted SHIP representatives. Information retrieved from this system may be disclosed to: (1) Support regulatory, reimbursement, and policy functions performed within the agency or by a contractor, consultant or CMS grantee; (2) assist another Federal or state agency with information to contribute to the accuracy of CMS's payment of Medicare benefits, 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) support litigation involving the agency; and (4) combat fraud, waste and abuse in certain Federally-funded 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. See Effective Dates section for comment period. | 2007-07-02 | 2007 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/07/02/E7-12680/privacy-act-of-1974-report-of-a-new-system-of-records | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-07-02/pdf/E7-12680.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 1974, we are proposing to establish a new system titled, "State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) National Performance Report (SHIP- NPR)," System No. 09-70-0510.
