Type of Information Collection Request: New collection; Title of Information Collection: Survey of Contract Labor in Selected Health Industries; Form Number: CMS–10177 (OMB#: 0938-New); Use: The Office of the Actuary (OACT), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting emergency review and approval of an information collection request (ICR) for a one-time, sevenquestion survey of professional contract labor costs in selected health industries. The survey will empirically quantify the locally-purchased and nationallypurchased proportions of professional contract labor costs incurred by hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNF), and kidney dialysis centers (ESRD). The results of this study will determine the proportion of professional contract labor costs that should be included in the labor-related share (LRS). The LRS of Medicare perspective payment system (PPS) payments is the proportion of said payment that is subject to the area wage index adjustment. This adjustment accounts for geographic variation, thus the survey will directly impact the distribution of Medicare hospital and SNF payments to PPS providers. ESRD providers are not paid prospectively at this time, although that appears likely at some point in the future. Frequency: One-time; Affected Public: Private Sector and State, Tribal and Local governments; Number of Respondents: 4,000; Total Annual Responses: 4,000; Total Annual Hours: 4,000.
