The ZIP file 2014 RFI Submissions contains a summary of CMS review of internal research 
and the RFI submissions. This review helped form CMS current proposal in the draft 
2016 Call Letter to reduce the weight of a subset of Part C and D measures while research 
continues in this area. Also included in the file are some of the submissions CMS received 
in response to a September 2014 Request for Information (RFI) for analysis and research that 
(1) demonstrated that dual-eligible and/or Low Income Subsidy (LIS) status causes lower 
MA and Part D quality measure scores or (2) described how high quality performance can be 
achieved in plans serving these beneficiaries.
