Clarification on Submission of Supplemental Benefits Data for MMPs
On February 21, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released an HPMS memorandum entitled, "Submission of Supplemental Benefits Data on Medicare Advantage Encounter Data Records." This e-mail is to clarify that the memorandum does not apply to the Medicare-Medicaid Plans (MMPs) participating in the Financial Alignment Initiative. For supplemental benefits that are currently being offered by the MMPs, MMPs should continue their current practice of submitting these as Medicaid encounters. MMPs should not attempt to submit Medicaid-covered services as Medicare Supplemental Benefits encounters.
