This information, at a minimum, should inform CMS of a new member; provide the data that CMS needs in order to pay the plan; and establish a plan record of the member's data (demographic, special status, enrollment spans) for use in reconciling plan data with CMS data in order to ensure accurate payment.

Yet this process has been difficult for many plans, as CMS data is stored and updated in multiple systems and warehouses. Each data source can send changes to the others, often overwriting good information in the process. If the plan's own data is as clean as possible, the plan has a good starting point for reconciling its data with CMS data and ensuring proper payment.
