8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
This investment is for maintenance of the Medicare Beneficiary Database (MBD). The Medicare Beneficiary Database provides CMS with a singular, authoritative, database of comprehensive data on individuals in Medicare program to support ongoing and expanded program administration, service delivery modalities, and payment coverage options. This collection will contain a complete "beneficiary insurance profile" that reflects the individual's Medicare health insurance coverage and Medicare health plan and demonstration enrollment. This effort requires the integration and standardization of different types of beneficiary data that were previously fragmented and often redundant within isolated CMS legacy systems. Other agencies such as the states, RRB and SSA use MBD data to administer their programs. In addition, MBD data is relied upon by many federal oversight and law enforcement agencies, and hundreds of research projects sponsored by both federal and private research institutions. The MMA legislation significantly expanded the role of the MBD, as well as adding significant changes to the size and functions of the system. The MBD houses current and historical beneficiary data from 2000. MBD data includes beneficiary insurance profile data for over 60M beneficiary, who have been or are currently entitled to Medicare, are disabled and entitled to Medicare, or have End Stage Renal Disease. Maintenance supports continuity for the following fielded system functions: DATA SHARING-MBD centralizes the receipt and storage and protection of large quantities of data, manages entities accessing the data, and provides data to downstream systems. DUAL ELIGIBLES- MBD provides centralized receipt of low income determinations from SSA and the States, deems beneficiary that qualify as dual-eligible according to legislation, ensures low income beneficiaries are covered by identifying those that are uncovered and initiating an automated enrollment into a Plan, and provides critical information to the CMS areas responsible for coordinating the process with the beneficiary and the Plans. GUI/WUI-The MBD user interface provides beneficiary level data for CMS staff to respond to beneficiary issues. QUERY SERVICES-MBD provides online and batch views of Part D data to outside entities within the Part D network of systems.

SUMMARY OF SPEND


1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. For Federal buildings and facilities, life-cycle costs should include long term energy, environmental, decommissioning, and/or restoration costs. The costs associated with the entire life-cycle of the investment should be included in this report.

All amounts represent Budget Authority

Note: For the cross-agency investments, this table should include all funding (both managing partner and partner agencies).

Government FTE Costs should not be included as part of the TOTAL represented.

PERFORMANCE


In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

Enterprise Architecture


In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA.
1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
yes
2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
yes
2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
CMS Data Management Operations - Beneficiary
3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
no
4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.

Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.

Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.

Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.

Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.

PART THREE


RISK


You should perform a risk assessment during the early planning and initial concept phase of the investment's life-cycle, develop a risk-adjusted life-cycle cost estimate and a plan to eliminate, mitigate or manage risk, and be actively managing risk throughout the investment's life-cycle.

Answer the following questions to describe how you are managing investment risks.
1. Does the investment have a Risk Management Plan?
yes
1.a. If yes, what is the date of the plan?
2007-03-22

COST & SCHEDULE


1. Was operational analysis conducted?
no
1.a. If yes, provide the date the analysis was completed.
2007-08-15
What were the results of your operational analysis?
The MBD is meeting, and is expected to continue to meet projected milestones, and the MBD remains within a 10% variance for the planned O&M costs compared to actual O&M costs. We regularly meet with customers on developing expectations. Customers are and will continue to be involved in both refining metrics parameters, and in a feedback loop towards future performance and quality.
1.c. If no, please explain why it was not conducted and if there are any plans to conduct operational analysis in the future.
Not Applicable.
