DATA SHARING AGREEMENTData Sharing Agreement • February 21st, 2024
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued correspondence to Medicare Plans on the policies and procedures for initiating corrections to CMS’ low-income subsidy data for plan enrollees for whom the plan has documentation about their Arkansas Medicaid eligibility or residence in an institution under a Medicaid-covered stay. CMS further has provided guidance for Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans that cover individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, requiring such plans to verify eligibility through, among other means, a systems query to a State Medicaid eligibility data system. The purpose of this data sharing agreement is to provide the “best available evidence” (BAE) of Medicaid eligibility to the Medicare Plans through access to the Arkansas Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS), while protecting the confidentiality of the data which is transferred.
