AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Department of Health 
and Human Services.
    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), 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 function; (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.

approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Notice of 
Provider Non-Coverage (CMS-10123) and Detailed Explanation of Non-
Coverage (CMS-10124); Use: The Notice of Medicare Provider Non-Coverage 
(CMS-10123) is used to inform fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries of 
the determination that their provider services will end, and of their 
right to an expedited review of that determination. The Detailed 
Explanation of Non-Coverage (CMS-10124) is used to provide 
beneficiaries who request an expedited determination with detailed 
information of why the services should end. The revised Notice of 
Provider Non-Coverage and Detailed Explanation of Provider Non-Coverage 
will no longer require use of the beneficiary's Medicare number as a 
patient identifier. Instead, when applicable, providers may use a 
number that helps to link the notice with a related claim. Form Number:
