Which Organizations Are Required to Submit a Crosswalk on January 15?

MDPP suppliers that have offered MDPP services for at least 6 months are required to submit a crosswalk file at each quarterly due date. Therefore, if your organization furnished MDPP services on or before June 30, 2019, you are required to submit a crosswalk file on January 15. Still unsure if your organization needs to submit a Crosswalk? Take a look at our Flow Chart for more direction.

Which Organizations Are Not Required to Submit a Crosswalk on January 15?

If your organization began to furnish MDPP services on or after July 1, 2019 or your organization has not yet begun to furnish MDPP services, your organization is not required to submit a crosswalk file on January 15.

As a reminder, the crosswalk file lists beneficiary identifiers used for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) performance data submissions and the corresponding Medicare identifiers for each beneficiary who receives MDPP. This requirement is essential for the evaluation of the MDPP expanded model. Submission of the crosswalk file is an MDPP supplier standard, which means that MDPP suppliers must comply with this requirement in order to maintain their enrollment in Medicare as an MDPP supplier.

If your organization must submit a crosswalk on January 15, you must do so using the CMS-provided crosswalk template and the secure website described below. If you have not previously gained access to the website or downloaded the template, please register at the link below.
