1D Review of AAPs: Overview

After receiving a contractor’s AAPs and Itemized Listing data, Investigators must ensure that they are complete and acceptable. There are three types of determinations that an Investigator must make: inclusion, missing items, and acceptability; each is described below.

• Inclusion. Immediately review the material to ensure that the contractor provided all of the materials identified in the Scheduling Letter and accompanying Itemized Listing. Figure F- 2 contains the current Scheduling Letter and Itemized Listing.
• Missing Items. Create an inventory list of every document that the contractor provided, including the date requested, if any, and date received. Also record on the list the items requested but not provided by the contractor.
• Acceptability. Determine whether the AAPs and Itemized Listing data are current, complete and acceptable.

The results of this initial review for inclusion and acceptability, as outlined below in sections 1E through 1H, are documented in CMS. Each specific problem an Investigator identifies is described in CMS, along with the corrective actions the Investigator plans to take to resolve them. Investigators should begin to analyze any complete supporting data once received.
