- 8. Provide a brief summary and justification for this investment, including a brief description of how this closes in part or in whole an identified agency performance gap.
- The project supports the Agency's core function - providing claim payments to beneficiaries per Title 18 and 19 of the Social Security Act - by providing a portion of the infrastructure that processes claims. IT supports the ongoing hosting of the Common Working File and support for the two Medicare Data Centers. The fee-for-service claims processing system environment is made up of several system applications (shared system software). The application s are supported by computer processing centers (known as data centers). Those data centers house the computer hardware and system software that allow the application code to process. The data centers provide the infrastructure that allows for the efficient and timely processing of the claims. It also provides the ability for the authorized fiscal intermediary and carrier personnel to connect from their desktop personal computer to the large mainframe computers housed at the data center in order to do real time inquiries of Medicare claims. The claims are processed in a network of 14 data centers throughout the continental United States. Three of those data centers are under two direct contracts with CMS. The two contracts are called Medicare Claims Data Center 1 (MCDC1, held by IBM) and Medicare Claims Data Center 2 (MCDC2, held by EDS). MCDC2 has two physical locations (data centers) in which Medicare claims are processed. These three data centers (two contracts) process approximately 1/3 (one third) of the total 1 billion annual Medicare claims. The other 11 (eleven) data centers are subcontracts held by the various fiscal intermediaries and carriers under Title XVIII. The focus of this exhibit are the two direct contracts that CMS holds (MCDC1 and MCDC2). This investment also includes the hosting costs of the Common Working File (CWF) that is located at CWF host site. The CWF is a nationwide processing system for validating Medicare claim payments throughout the United States. There are nine host-processing sectors. The nine sectors house localized databases, each servicing, Medicare Part A Intermediaries and Part B Carriers within defined geographic sectors. The project provides funding for ongoing operations until transition to the Enterprise Data Centers is complete. This investment assumes that all CWF processing will be hosted at an Enterprise Data Center by September 2008. It assumes workload at Medicare Data Centers trails off as Enterprise Data Centers begins.

SUMMARY OF SPEND
- 1. Provide the total estimated life-cycle cost for this investment by completing the following table. All amounts represent budget authority in millions, and are rounded to three decimal places. Federal personnel costs should be included only in the row designated Government FTE Cost, and should be excluded from the amounts shown for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance. The total estimated annual cost of the investment is the sum of costs for Planning, Full Acquisition, and Operation/Maintenance.

PERFORMANCE In order to successfully address this area of the exhibit 300, performance goals must be provided for the agency and be linked to the annual performance plan. The investment must discuss the agency's mission and strategic goals, and performance measures (indicators) must be provided. These goals need to map to the gap in the agency's strategic goals and objectives this investment is designed to fill. They are the internal and external performance benefits this investment is expected to deliver to the agency (e.g., improve efficiency by 60 percent, increase citizen participation by 300 percent a year to achieve an overall citizen participation rate of 75 percent by FY 2xxx, etc.). The goals must be clearly measurable investment outcomes, and if applicable, investment outputs. They do not include the completion date of the module, milestones, or investment, or general goals, such as, significant, better, improved that do not have a quantitative measure.
- Agencies must use the following table to report performance goals and measures for the major investment and use the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) Performance Reference Model (PRM). Map all Measurement Indicators to the corresponding Measurement Area and Measurement Grouping identified in the PRM. There should be at least one Measurement Indicator for each of the four different Measurement Areas (for each fiscal year). The PRM is available at www.egov.gov. The table can be extended to include performance measures for years beyond FY 2009.

Enterprise Architecture In order to successfully address this area of the business case and capital asset plan you must ensure the investment is included in the agency's EA and Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process, and is mapped to and supports the FEA. You must also ensure the business case demonstrates the relationship between the investment and the business, performance, data, services, application, and technology layers of the agency's EA. - 1. Is this investment included in your agency's target enterprise architecture?
- yes
- 2. Is this investment included in the agency's EA Transition Strategy?
- yes
- 2.a. If yes, provide the investment name as identified in the Transition Strategy provided in the agency's most recent annual EA Assessment.
- CMS Medicare FFS IT Infrastructure
- 3. Is this investment identified in a completed (contains a target architecture) and approved segment architecture?
- no
- 4. Identify the service components funded by this major IT investment (e.g., knowledge management, content management, customer relationship management, etc.). Provide this information in the format of the following table. For detailed guidance regarding components, please refer to http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/egov/.
Component: Use existing SRM Components or identify as NEW. A NEW component is one not already identified as a service component in the FEA SRM.
Reused Name and UPI: A reused component is one being funded by another investment, but being used by this investment. Rather than answer yes or no, identify the reused service component funded by the other investment and identify the other investment using the Unique Project Identifier (UPI) code from the OMB Ex 300 or Ex 53 submission.
Internal or External Reuse?: Internal reuse is within an agency. For example, one agency within a department is reusing a service component provided by another agency within the same department. External reuse is one agency within a department reusing a service component provided by another agency in another department. A good example of this is an E-Gov initiative service being reused by multiple organizations across the federal government.
Funding Percentage: Please provide the percentage of the BY requested funding amount used for each service component listed in the table. If external, provide the funding level transferred to another agency to pay for the service.
