2010 Service Area Expansion & Contract
Renewal [contract number]
|
The
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is pleased to inform you that
we are renewing your contract and have approved your organization’s service area
expansion application effective January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010. This
approval/renewal is issued based on our receipt of your 2010 benefit
attestation, all applicable contract addenda, and our approval of your
bid. CMS approves each benefit plan for a particular service area.
Your organization’s contractual authority to offer benefits in its CMS-approved
service area is documented by your signed benefit attestation.
If your
organization offers a prescription drug plan benefit package, an executed copy
of your new Part D addendum is included as an attachment to this memo. If
your organization applied for and was found qualified to offer new 2010
Employer/Union-Only Group Waiver Plans (EGWP)/ “800 series” plan benefit
packages, an executed EGWP addendum is included as an attachment to this memo.
CMS will
continue to provide Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Benefit program
information (including information about your CMS Central Office and Regional
Office contacts) to contracting organizations through the Health Plan Management
System (HPMS) and the CMS website. It is imperative that you monitor both
websites to stay current on program requirements and information. In
addition, you must ensure that your organization’s contact information in HPMS
remains up-to-date since this is our primary source for contacting our
contracting organizations.
We look
forward to continuing to work with you in serving Medicare beneficiaries in your
service area. If you have any questions, please contact your Regional
Office Account Manager.
