To all Plans offering Part D:
This message is to alert you to a forthcoming correction involving Transaction Reply Code (TRC) 121: Low Income Period Status. This TRC associated with Low Income Subsidy (LIS) status information for CY 2012, including the TRC associated with the population re-deemed for LIS in 2012, was not provided via the Daily Transaction Reply Report (TRR).
Beginning with the TRR received on Wednesday, September 21, 2011, Plans should expect to see these TRC included in the TRR. This activity may temporarily increase the size of your TRR. We expect that the receipt of these previously unreported TRC 121 will continue through Monday, September 26, 2011.
Additional guidance regarding this information will be provided in an HPMS memo to Plans shortly.
Please direct questions or concerns to the MAPD Help Desk at mapdhelp@cms.hhs.gov or 1-800-927-8069.
