CMS: Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is seeking comment on a pilot program to collect race and ethnicity data on Medicare Part C and Part D enrollment forms. The data will be used to explore the response rate to race and ethnicity questions as a whole and how it intersects with beneficiary income and other demographics, conduct focus groups to understand how people who elect to not respond to the race and ethnicity questions perceive the addition of those questions on the form, continue to test CMS' race and ethnicity imputation model, and determine the data necessary for sufficient samples sizes to conduct analyses of disaggregated race and ethnicity categories. Comments are due by March 14, 2022.
