Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
Agency: Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid 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) 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.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare Care
Management Performance (MCMP)
Demonstration; Use: Section 649 of the
Medicare Prescription Drug,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:09 Jun 05, 2008
Jkt 214001
Improvement, and Modernization Act of
2003 (MMA) requires the Secretary of
the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services to establish a pay-forperformance (P4P) demonstration
program with physicians to meet the
needs of eligible beneficiaries through
the adoption and use of health
information technology (HIT) and
evidence-based outcome measures. The
Medicare Care Management
Performance Demonstration was
established in response to the MMA.
Mathematica Policy Research, Inc. is
conducting an evaluation of the MCMP
on behalf of CMS. The goals of the
three-year demonstration are to improve
quality of care to eligible fee-for-service
Medicare beneficiaries and encourage
the implementation and use of HIT. The
specific objectives are to promote
continuity of care, help stabilize
medical conditions, prevent or
minimize acute exacerbations of chronic
conditions, and reduce adverse health
outcomes. The MMA authorizes a total
of four sites in both urban and rural
areas. The demonstration sites are in
Arkansas, California, Massachusetts,
and Utah. The MCMP demonstration
will target practices serving at least 50
traditional fee-for-service Medicare
beneficiaries with congestive heart
failure, coronary heart disease, and
diabetes for whom they provide primary
care.
An impact analysis using a
comparison group design will be
conducted as part of the evaluation.
Physician practices in selected nondemonstration States that match most
closely those in demonstration States on
key factors will make up the comparison
group. The impact analysis will use data
from four data sources: (1) A beneficiary
survey, (2) a physician survey, (3)
Medicare claims and eligibility data,
and (4) practice-specific data. This
request relates to the two surveys. Form
Number: CMS–10256 (OMB# 0938–
New); Frequency: Once; Affected Public:
Business or other for-profits, and
Individual and households; Number of
Respondents: 6,400; Total Annual
Responses: 6,400; Total Annual Hours:
1,472.
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Identification of
Extension Units of Outpatient Physical
Therapy (OPT)/Outpatient Speech
Pathology (OSP) Providers; Use:
Medicare provides OPT/OSP providers
to be surveyed to determine compliance
with Federal Regulations. All locations
where OPT/OSP providers furnish
services must meet these requirements.
The CMS–381 is the form used to
PO 00000
Frm 00054

identify all the OPT/OSP locations.
Form Number: CMS–381 (OMB# 0938–
0273); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
495; Total Annual Responses: 495; Total
Annual Hours: 866.
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Outpatient
Physical Therapy Speech Pathology
Survey Report and Supporting
Regulations in 42 CFR 485.701–485.729.
Use: The Medicare program requires
OPT providers to meet certain health
and safety requirements. The request for
certification form is used by State
agency surveyors to determine if
minimum Medicare eligibility
requirements are met. The survey report
form records the results of the on-site
survey. Form Number: CMS–1856 and
1893 (OMB# 0938–0065); Frequency:
Yearly and occasionally; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
495; Total Annual Responses: 495; Total

1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New Collection; Title of
Information Collection: Health
Insurance Flexibility and Accountability
(HIFA) Evaluation; Use: The HIFA
initiative sought to increase health
coverage of uninsured populations
through a flexible waiver process
emphasizing public subsidy of
Employer-Sponsored Insurance (ESI).
Testing whether that approach reduces
the rate/number of uninsured is
critically important to CMS. The
proposed survey of HIFA enrollees in
New Medico and Oregon would provide
the only data available to test certain
fundamental HIFA effects, especially
with reference to reduction of the
uninsured population, the effectiveness
of premium assistance for ESI and the
possibility of crowd-out of private
coverage. Form Number: CMS–10262

Enrollees; Use: The monthly file of dual
eligible enrollees will be used to
determine those duals with drug
benefits for the phased down State
contribution process required by the
Medicare Modernization Act of 2003.
These data are also used to support Part
D subsidy determinations and autoassignment of individuals to Part D
plans. Form Number: CMS–10143
(OMB# 0938–0958); Frequency:
Monthly; Affected Public: State, Local or
Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 51; Total Annual
Responses: 612; Total Annual Hours:
