Request: New Collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Uniform Institutional Provider Bill and
Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR
424.5; Use: Section 42 CFR 424.5(a)(5)
requires providers of services to submit
a claim for payment prior to any

identification for all major health
insurance claims payers. Submission of

Medicare intermediaries to receive
consistent data for proper payment. All
hardcopy claims processed by Medicare
fiscal intermediaries must be submitted
on the CMS–1450 (UB–04) after May 23,
2007. Data fields in the X12N 837 data
set are consistent with the CMS–1450
(UB–04) data set.; Form Numbers: CMS–
1450 (UB–04) (OMB#: 0938–NEW);

Emergency Clearance: Public
Information Collection Requirements
Submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB)
Center for Medicare and
Medicaid Services, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
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.
We are, however, requesting an
emergency review of the information
collection referenced below. In
compliance with the requirement of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we have
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) the following
requirements for emergency review. We
are requesting an emergency review
because the collection of this
information is needed before the
expiration of the normal time limits
under OMB’s regulations at 5 CFR part
1320. This is necessary to ensure
compliance with an initiative of the
Administration. CMS does not have
sufficient time to complete the normal
PRA clearance process. Section 1860D–
1 of the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement, and Modernization Act of
2003 (MMA) and implementing
regulations at 42 CFR 423.56(c) and (d)
requires that all entities provide a
disclosure of creditable coverage status
to all Medicare Part D eligible
individuals. The normal PRA clearance
process would result in violating this
statute which would result in public
harm to enrolled Medicare prescription
drug beneficiaries.
