Question: Why should I submit an informal discrepancy if it isn't required?
Answer: Submitting an informal discrepancy will help both issuers and CMS prepare for the formal discrepancy reporting process, and can address issues well in advance of final payment calculations. For more information, see the discrepancy reporting and DQAR webinar from 1/28 at https://www.regtap.info/uploads/library/RA_RI_DR_DQARslides_012815_5CR_020415.pdf in the REGTAP Library.
