CMS has extended a final opportunity for ETC model participants to complete their Data Sharing Agreement (DSA). The final ETC Model DSA signing window for Measurement Year 7 (MY 7) is now open until July 24 at 11:59pm. ETC Participants or their designees must sign their relevant DSAs by 7/24/25 to gain access to beneficiary-level reports available in the 4i Data Hub.
Background
Under ETC Model’s regulations at § 512.390, CMS makes certain beneficiary-identifiable data available to ETC Participants under the condition that an ETC Participant completes and submits, on at least an annual basis, a signed data sharing agreement. Beneficiary-identifiable data include the ETC Participant’s attributed beneficiaries‘ names, Medicare Beneficiary Identifiers, dates of birth, dual eligible status, and LIS recipient status. Beneficiary-identifiable data may be retrieved by ETC Participants no later than one month before the start of each PPA Period. For the purposes of this notice, beneficiary-identifiable data was made available to ETC Participants with a signed and active DSA by June 1, 2025, one month prior to the start of PPA Period 7, which began on July 1, 2025.
