Comments
This variable was only populated from 2007-2012. Plans that use a coinsurance percentage amount rather than a co-payment will not have a value in this field; see instead the corresponding coinsurance variable called (PRE_ICL_INP_COINS_OS). The CCW constructs the Plan Characteristics File from information submitted by Part D plan sponsors to CMS’s Health Plan Management System (HPMS). Employer and National Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) plans are waived from reporting Plan Benefit Package information. For those plans that did not report, the value of this variable will be blank.
