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: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Payment Error Rate Measurement in Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP); Use: The Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA) of 2002 requires CMS to produce national error rates for Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). To comply with the IPIA, CMS will engage a Federal contractor to produce the error rates in Medicaid and SCHIP. The states will be requested to submit, at their option, test data which include full claims details to the contractor prior to the quarterly submissions to detect potential problems in the dataset to and ensure the quality of the data. These states will be required to submit quarterly claims data to the contractor who will pull a statistically valid random sample, each quarter, by strata, so that medical and data processing reviews can be performed. State-specific error rates will be based on these review results. CMS needs to collect the claims data, medical policies, and other information from states as well as medical records from providers in order for the contractor to sample and review adjudicated claims in those states selected for review. Based on the reviews, state-specific error rates will be calculated which will serve as the basis for calculating national Medicaid and SCHIP error rates. This revision of the currently approved collection contains minor revisions to the information collection requirements. There is a 10-hour increase in burden per state per program as part of a new process. Based on the past experience in PERM operation, the adjustment is made to ensure the quality of the data will comply with the data PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 43449 requirement during the measurement.

Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Model Creditable Coverage Disclosure Notices; Use: Section 1860D–1 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) and implementing regulations at 42 CFR 423.56 require that entities that offer prescription drug benefits under any of the types of coverage described in 42 CFR 423.56(b) provide a disclosure of creditable coverage status to all Medicare Part D eligible individuals covered under the entity’s plan informing them whether such coverage meets the actuarial requirements specified in guidelines provided by CMS. These disclosure notices must be provided to Part D eligible individuals, at minimum, at the following times: (1) Prior to an individual’s initial enrollment period for Part D, as described under § 423.38(a); (2) prior to the effective date of enrollment in the entity’s coverage, and upon any change in creditable status; (3) prior to the commencement of the Part D Annual Coordinated Election Period (ACEP) which begins on November 15 of each year, as defined in § 423.38(b); and (4) upon request by the individual. In an effort to reduce the burden associated with providing these notices, our final regulations allow most entities to provide notices of creditable and noncreditable status with other information materials that these entities distribute to beneficiaries. This collection has been updated by eliminating the separate Model Personalized Disclosure Notice. CMS has incorporated the personalized information into the Model Creditable Disclosure Notice and the Model NonCreditable Disclosure Notice for use by the public.
