This training assists Medicare Parts C and D plan Sponsors’ employees, governing body members, and their first-tier, downstream, and related entities (FDRs) to satisfy their annual general compliance training requirements in the regulations and sub-regulatory guidance at:

• 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 422.503(b)(4)(vi)(C)
• 42 CFR Section 423.504(b)(4)(vi)(C)
• Section 50.3 of the Compliance Program Guidelines (Chapter 9 of the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Manual and Chapter 21 of the Medicare Managed Care Manual)
• The “Downloads” section of the CMS Compliance Program Policy and Guidance webpage

Completing this training in and of itself does not ensure a Sponsor has an “effective Compliance Program.” Sponsors and their FDRs are responsible for establishing and executing an effective compliance program according to the CMS regulations and program guidelines.
