  7. PAYMENT PROCESS(PART A-ONLY OPTION) • Effective for 2006 payments, organizations may elect to have CMS determine payments for all “Part A-only” enrollees using either new enrollee factors or full risk adjustment factors. • Plans may not elect to move some eligible “Part A-only” enrollees into full risk adjustment, while retaining others as new enrollees. • Once elected, this option will remain turned “on” until CMS is otherwise notified prior to August 31st of any successive year. • This option is applied during reconciliation for a payment year only (i.e., it will not be applied prospectively). • Plans interested in this option must contact henry.thomas@cms.hhs.gov by August 31st.
