In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) 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.

Services (CMS) enrolls durable medical
equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and
supplies (DMEPOS) suppliers into the
Medicare program via a uniform
application, the CMS 855S.
Implementation of enhanced procedures
for verifying the enrollment information
has improved the enrollment process as
well as identified and prevented
fraudulent DMEPOS suppliers from
entering the Medicare program. As part
of this process, verification of
compliance with supplier standards is
necessary. The site investigation form
has been used in the past to aid the
Medicare contractor (the National
Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC) and/or its
subcontractors) in verifying compliance
with the required supplier standards
found in 42 CFR 424.57(c). The primary
function of the site investigation form is
to provide a standardized, uniform tool
to gather information from a DMEPOS
supplier that tells us whether it meets
certain qualifications to be a DMEPOS
supplier (as found in 42 CFR 424.57(c))
and where it practices or renders its
services. Form Number: CMS–R–263
(OMB# 0938–0749); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: Business
or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions; Number of Respondents:
30,000; Total Annual Responses:
