| E7-24786 | 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, "Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration (MFPD), System No. 09-70-0593." The demonstration, created by section 6071 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-171), provides to states a total of $1.75 billion in competitive grants. MFP demonstration grants have been awarded to 30 states and the District of Columbia. The states and the District of Columbia are using the grant funding to transition Medicaid beneficiaries who need long-term care services from institutional-based care to community-based care. The purpose of the demonstration is to help states continue their efforts to restructure their long-term care systems and shift the historical emphasis from institutional care to community-based care. The demonstration is based on the premise that many Medicaid beneficiaries currently residing in institutions want to live in the community and could do so if they had the adequate support, and that it would cost less than Medicaid currently spends to care for institutional care. The purpose of this system is to collect and maintain individually identifiable information on Medicaid recipients, those who participate in the MFP demonstration and other comparable Medicaid recipients, and to collect and maintain program level information on grantee implementation of the MFP demonstration. 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, or consultant; (2) assist another Federal or state agency with information to contribute to the accuracy of CMS's proper payment of Medicaid 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 an individual or organization for 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 litigation involving the agency; and (5) 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. | 2007-12-21 | 2007 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/12/21/E7-24786/privacy-act-of-1974-report-of-a-new-system-of-records | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-12-21/pdf/E7-24786.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, "Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration (MFPD), System No. 09-70-0593."
