CMS and the Social Security Act govern the Medicare Program, including Parts C and D

The Social Security Act (Act of August 14, 1935)
Provided for the general welfare by establishing a system of Federal old-age benefits, and by enabling the States to make more adequate provision for aged persons, blind persons, dependent and crippled children, maternal and child welfare, public health, and the administration of their unemployment compensation laws; to establish a Social Security Board; to raise revenue; and for other purposes.

The CMS Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 expands the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 with new and expanded mandates:

•Health care providers and suppliers implement compliance programs as a condition of participating in Federal health care programs (Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program).
•New operating rules for each HIPAA transaction
•Creation of a unique, standard Health Plan Identifier (HPID)
•New standards for electronic funds transfer and electronic health care claims attachments.
•Health plans must certify compliance with standards.
•Penalties for health plans that fail to comply or certify compliance.

Medicare sponsors must have an effective compliance program and training for employees, managers, and directors, as well as their first tier, downstream, and related entities, which includes measures to prevent, detect and correct Medicare non-compliance, and measures to prevent, detect and correct fraud, waste, and abuse.
 
•Part C and Part D programs provide health and prescription drug benefits for eligible individuals 65 years and older, and eligible individuals with disabilities. CMS contracts with private companies, referred to as “sponsors”, to provide health and prescription drug benefits to beneficiaries’ enrolled in Medicare Advantage- Prescription Drug (MA-PD), MA-only and standalone PDPs.
 
•CMS is responsible for administering and conducting oversight of the Medicare programs.
