Abstract: To validate its Medicare Part D subsidy determinations, SSA uses the Medicare Subsidy Quality Review Case Analysis system, in which it calls selected applicants and insurance/other companies to confirm certain information reported on form SSA-1020 (OMB No. 0960-0696). This submission is for two new forms SSA will use to conduct quality reviews with beneficiaries who recently underwent a Medicare Part D subsidy redetermination. The respondents are applicants for and recipients of the Medicare Part D subsidy information, insurance companies, and other third parties.
