information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New Collection; Title of
Information Collection: Payment Error
Rate Measurement in Medicaid and
State Children’s Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP); Form No.: CMS–
10166 (OMB # 0938–NEW); Use: The
information collected will be used by
CMS for, among other purposes,
estimating improper payments in
Medicaid and SCHIP as required by the
Improper Payments Information Act
(IPIA) of 2002. To implement the IPIA
in Medicaid and SCHIP, CMS will
engage a Federal contractor to produce
Medicaid and SCHIP error rates. CMS
plans to adopt this approach based on
a recommendation made during public
comment on the proposed rule entitled
‘‘Medicaid Program and State Children’s
Health Insurance Program (SCHIP):
Payment Error Rate Measurement’’
which published on August 27, 2004 (69
FR 52620), that contained provisions for
all states to produce error rates in
Medicaid and SCHIP.
Each year, based on States’ annual
medical expenditures from the previous
year, the Federal contractor will group
all States into three equal strata of small,
medium and large and select a random
sample of an estimated 18 States to be
reviewed for each program. The States
selected for review would submit to the
Federal contractor, annual expenditures,
quarterly claims data, medical policies,
and other information so that the
contractor can determine the specific
State sample sizes and conduct medical
and data processing reviews on the
sampled claims. In addition, the
contractor will request medical records
from providers whose claims were
sampled; the medical records are
needed to support the medical reviews.
CMS is not requiring States and
providers to use a specific form, e.g.,
facsimile, electronic to transmit the
information. Based on the reviews, the
contractor will calculate State-specific
error rates which will serve as the basis
for calculating national Medicaid and
SCHIP error rates. Each State reviewed
also will submit a corrective action plan
to CMS that is designed to address error
causes for purposes of reducing the
State’s error rate; Frequency:
Reporting—on occasion and quarterly;
Affected Public: State, local or tribal
