following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send

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: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Internal
Revenue Service (IRS)/Social Security
Administration (SSA)/Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
Data Match and Supporting Regulations
in 42 CFR 411.20–491.206 Use:
Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) is
essentially the same concept known in
the private insurance industry as
coordination of benefits; it refers to
those situations where Medicare
assumes a secondary payer role to
certain types of private insurance for
covered services provided to a Medicare
beneficiary.
Congress sought to reduce the losses
to the Medicare program by requiring in
42 U.S.C. 1395y(b)(5) that the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS), the Social
Security Administration (SSA), and
CMS perform an annual data match (the
IRS/SSA/CMS Data Match, or ‘‘Data
Match’’ for short). CMS uses the
information obtained through Data
Match to contact employers concerning
possible application of the MSP
provisions by requesting information
about specifically identified employees
(either a Medicare beneficiary or the
working spouse of a Medicare
beneficiary). This statutory data match
and employer information collection
activity enhances CMS’s ability to
identify both past and present MSP
situations. Form Number: CMS–R–137
(OMB# 0938–0763); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Business or
other for-profit, not-for-profit
institutions, Farms, State, Local or
Tribal Governments; Number of
Respondents: 326,597; Total Annual
Responses: 326,597; Total Annual
Hours: 1,900,795.
