Section 111 of the MMSEA (Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007) will require the providers of group health plans, liability insurance (including self-insurance), no fault insurance and workers’ compensation insurance to determine the Medicare-entitlement of all claimants and report certain information about those claims to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. With the objective of assisting the Secretary with coordinating benefits and uncovering potential reimbursement claims, this recent legislation reinforces the intent of ensuring Medicare is treated as the payer of last resort. The penalty for non-compliance is $1,000 per day for each day the responsible party is out of compliance. This penalty is in addition to other fines that defendants can be fined if Medicare’s reimbursement claim is ignored in any settlement. The new rules will apply to settlements on or after Jan 1, 2009 for group health plans and on or after July 1, 2009 for liability insurance (including self-insurance), no fault insurance and workers’ compensation insurance.

  iSpace MSP Reporting Services  
 

iSpace currently works with multiple clients and helps them through the process of complying with MMSEA Section 111 mandatory reporting. iSpace consulting practice works with clients from the registration process all the way through reporting. iSpace has developed a proprietary reporting platform that can help you be compliant with the Mandatory reporting.

iSpace consulting & technology practice currently works with multiple clients on their regulatory state, federal and CMS reporting needs. Specific to MMSEA Section 111, iSpace can help you in the following areas:

  
 
      • Administrative: Responsible Reporting Entities (RREs) must register with COBC and provide notification to the COBC of their intent to report data in compliance with the requirements of Section 111 of the MMSEA. Registration by the RRE must be completed before testing can begin.

        Through this registration process, the COBC will obtain the information needed to

            • Certify the registrant is a valid RRE for Section 111

            • Assign a Section 111 Reporter ID to each RRE

            • Develop a Section 111 reporting profile for each RRE, including estimates of the volume and type of data to be exchanged for planning purposes

            • Assign a production live date and file submission timeframe to each RRE

            • Establish the necessary file transfer mechanisms, and

            • Assign a COBC Electronic Data Interchange Representative (EDI Rep) to each RRE to assist with ongoing communication.

        Timeframe for registration is as follows:


            • Group Health Plan (GHP) RREs that currently have a Voluntary Data Sharing Agreement (VDSA) or Voluntary Data Exchange Agreement (VDEA) in place with CMS – Paper registration October 1 through October 31, 2008.

            • GHP RREs that do not currently exchange data with the COBC under the VDSA/VDEA process – Online registration April 1, 2009 through April 30, 2009.

            • RRE for liability insurance (including self-insurance), no-fault insurance, and workers’ compensation – online registration May 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.

        iSpace can work with the RRE or the Agent and guide them through the registration and data testing process.

      • Infrastructure: iSpace has developed a robust reporting engine to transmit and receive data to regulatory bodies. The engine can be customized by client and their customers to transmit data (MSP input file), receive data back (MSP response file), receive error files, correct errors and maintain a history (MSP occurrences) and audit trail. The engine generates standard reports to keep track of all reports, errors and history. iSpace provides this reporting engine on a licensing or ASP model.

      • Process & System: iSpace will work with clients and help support their quarterly reporting based on COBC established reporting time frames.

      • Why iSpace: CMS is still working on the formalities and formats related to mandatory reporting. Depending on if you are an RRE or an Agent, the work load and maintenance of an application could take up the time and focus of multiple employees. Once you have an application and are reporting, you will still need to manage CMS expectation on an ongoing basis. iSpace can bring down the total spend on MMSEA Section 111 mandatory reporting without loss of quality or attention to detail.
