Enrollment Application—Durable
Medical Equipment, Prosthetics,
Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS)
Suppliers and Supporting Regulations
in 42 CFR 424.57 and 424.58; Use: CMS
is revising the CMS–855 Medicare
Enrollment Applications Package (OMB
No. 0938–0685) to remove the CMS–
855S application from its collection.
CMS has found that the regulations
governing the standards required of
suppliers of durable medical equipment,
prosthetics, orthotics and supplies
(DMEPOS) are revised and increased
more frequently than the other provider
types reimbursed by Medicare.
Consequently, CMS must revise the
CMS 855S application for DMEPOS
suppliers more often than the CMS
855A, CMS 855B, CMS 855I and CMS
855R enrollment applications. The
ability to revise the CMS 855S
separately from the other CMS 855
enrollment applications will lessen the
burden on both CMS and the public as
only one subset of suppliers will be
effected by CMS 855S revisions. CMS
intends to maintain the continuity of the
CMS 855 enrollment applications by
using the same formats and lay-out of
the current CMS 855 enrollment
applications, regardless of the
separation of the CMS 855S from the
collective enrollment application
package. The primary function of the
CMS 855S DMEPOS supplier
enrollment application is to gather
information from a supplier that tells us
who it is, whether it meets certain
qualifications to be a health care
supplier, where it renders its services or
supplies, the identity of the owners of
the enrolling entity, and information
necessary to establish the correct claims
payment. Form Number: CMS–855S
(OMB# 0938-New); Frequency: Yearly;
Affected Public: Business or other forprofits and not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 126,134; Total
Annual Responses: 126,134; Total
Annual Hours: 149,234.
3. Type of Information Collection

History Personal Health Record
Evaluation; Use: In 2006, the American
Health Information Community (AHIC)
Consumer Empowerment Workgroup
(CEWG) made a recommendation to
CMS to pilot programs that measure and
demonstrate the value of Personal
Health Records (PHRs) for patients with
chronic diseases and their clinicians.
For this information collection, CMS
has proposed to evaluate the uptake,
use, and perceived value of a

History PHR tool for Medicare Managed
Care and/or Part D Drug Plan
Beneficiaries. Seven commercial health
plans volunteered to integrate the PHR
pilot tool within their existing PHRs,
and these plans are offering the tool to
member beneficiaries at no cost. CMS
will examine how the PHRs were used
by the beneficiaries, caregivers and
providers and if they were perceived to
improve the quality of the beneficiary/
provider communication; timeliness of
preventive screenings; and ease of use
or value of information to individuals
with chronic conditions. Form Number:

Frequency: Once; Affected Public:
Individuals or households, private
sector; Number of Respondents: 2,167;
Total Annual Responses: 2,167; Total
