6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2009?: Operations and Maintenance

7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?: FY2001 or earlier

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.: The National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) is the system that enumerates health plans and providers in compliance with the requirements of HIPAA. HIPAA requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to adopt a national standard identifier for all health plans and providers for use in the health care system. This scope extends to all heath plans and providers not just Medicare and Medicaid. NPPES processes applications from health care providers for National Provider Identifiers (NPIs). NPIs are identification numbers that health care providers are required by regulation to obtain and use to identify themselves in electronic health transactions, such as electronic claims and eligibility inquiries. NPIs do not change and do not expire. NPPES captures, by application, identifying information about health care providers. It processes each application to ensure the uniqueness of the health care provider, and then assigns the health care provider its NPI. NPPES establishes a record for every health care provider it enumerates. NPPES processes updates and changes to the data in an enumerated health care provider's record and deactivates and reactivates a health care provider's NPI upon request by the health care provider. The NPPES makes available, upon approved requests, information about each enumerated health care provider, including the NPI. NPPES assists with reducing the incidence of provider misidentificatio n. It helps to differentiate between fraudulent providers and those who make honest billing mistakes. It allows for easy access to obtain NPIs. Finally, it supports defining, developing, implementing, and maintaining uniform data standards for the exchange of health care information in our programs, as well as across the nation's health care system. This system went into production during FY 2006 with no major planned enhancements. This menas the current solution is still the best alternative solution. NPPES supports HHS & PMA goals such as Expanded E-Government by implementing a web-based application for providers to obtain their NPI, improving system and technology information management, providing efficient business processes, and maintaining data itegrity . This investment will be in the evaluate phase during FY 2007 & 2008.

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 Interoperability and Standardization - Provider Identification

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.

Row	Agency Component Name	Agency Component Description	Service Type	Component	Reused Component Name	Reused UPI	Internal or External Reuse?	Funding %
1	Standardized / Canned	Defines the set of capabilities that support the use of pre-conceived or pre-written reports.	Reporting	Standardized / Canned			No Reuse	50
2	Data Exchange	Defines the set of capabilities that support the interchange of information between multiple systems or applications; includes verification that transmitted data was received unaltered.	Data Management	Data Exchange			No Reuse	50

5. To demonstrate how this major IT investment aligns with the FEA Technical Reference Model (TRM), please list the Service Areas, Categories, Standards, and Service Specifications supporting this IT investment. FEA SRM Component: Service Components identified in the previous question should be entered in this column. Please enter multiple rows for FEA SRM Components supported by multiple TRM Service Specifications. Service Specification: In the Service Specification field, Agencies should provide information on the specified technical standard or vendor product mapped to the FEA TRM Service Standard, including model or version numbers, as appropriate.

Row	SRM Component	>Service Area	Service Category	Service Standard	Service Specification (i.e., vendor and product name)
