6. What kind of investment will this be in FY2010?
Operations and Maintenance
7. What was the first budget year this investment was submitted to OMB?
FY2007
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 funds systems that deliver Part C (Medicare Advantage) and Part D (Medicare Prescription Drug) benefits which provide Medicare beneficiaries with prescription drug coverage. The Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Prescription Drug System (MARx) and Risk Adjustment System (RAS) currently process transactions for over 24 million enrollees from over 704 plans. MARx supports Part D by calculating beneficiary-level payments and risk-adjusted payments; verifying beneficiary eligibility benefits; and by processing notifications of beneficiary enrollment. RAS computes risk factors for all beneficiaries that are used by MARx. The Premium Withholding System (PWS) calculates and makes proper adjustments for each beneficiary, processes premiums, and generates daily enrollment files. This investment directly supports the HHS Strategic Goal to "Broaden health insurance and long-term care coverage" by maintaining the systems that support the optional prescription drug benefit for individuals who are entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Part B. This investment also funds systems that support the HHS Strategic goal to "Improve health care quality, safety, cost and value" through Part D sponsors offering plans with either: (1) basic prescription drug coverage; or (2) enhanced alternative coverage, which includes certain supplemental benefits such that the total value of the coverage exceeds the value of basic prescription drug coverage. Prescription drug plans (PDPs) may offer enhanced alternative coverage for a supplemental premium. MA-PD plans may offer enhanced alternative coverage either for a supplemental premium, or they may buy down the supplemental premium with savings from their bids for medical benefits (also known as Medicare Advantage rebate dollars). PDP sponsors must offer at least one plan with basic prescription drug coverage in each service area in which they operate. In order to operate in a service area, MA-PD organizations must offer at least one plan with basic prescription drug coverage or enhanced alternative coverage for no supplemental premium. This investment supports the PMA Initiative "Expand E-Gov" by providing a web-based single point of access to CMS Services. The systems support the PMA initiative "Eliminating Improper Payments" by ensuring that payments are accurate.

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.

2. Will this project require the agency to hire additional FTE's?
no
3. If the summary of spending has changed from the FY2008 President's budget request, briefly explain those changes.
A major contract has been re-competed at significant savings. This has affected planned amounts for future years. As the investment went through the CMS CPIC process, funds are re-allocated based on changing agency priorities. This redistribution of limited resources also causes changes form the President's Budget.

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 MMA Title 1 and Title II Applications. In order to provide HHS more detail and insight into our investments, last year's major initiative was split out into a separate investment.
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.
