CMS will collect and price MA Plan encounter data. The data will be collected from the MA Plans in the 837X Version 5010 format and submitted to a single encounter data front end system contractor. The MA Plans will submit adjudicated data which will be processed using the Medicare Encounter Data Processing and Pricing System based on modified versions of the Medicare FFS claims processing systems.
