Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Notice.
VerDate Nov<24>2008
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services
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), 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.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of the currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: State Medicaid
Eligibility Quality Control (MEQC)
Sample Selection Lists and Supporting
Regulations in 42 CFR 431.800–431.865;
Use: State Medicaid Eligibility Quality
Control (MEQC) is operated by the State
Title XIX agency to monitor and
improve the administration of its
Medicaid system. The MEQC system is
based on State reviews of Medicaid
beneficiaries identified through
statistically reliable statewide samples
of cases selected from the eligibility
files. These reviews are conducted to
determine whether or not the sampled
cases meet applicable State Title XIX
eligibility requirements by States
performing the traditional sample

process. The reviews are also used to
assess beneficiary liability, if any, and to
determine the amounts paid to provide
Medicaid services for these cases. At the
beginning of each month, State agencies
still performing the traditional sample
are required to submit sample selection
lists which identify all of the cases
selected for review in the States’
samples. The sample selection lists
contain identifying information on
Medicaid beneficiaries such as: State
agency review number; beneficiary’s
name and address; the name of the
county where beneficiary resides;
Medicaid case number, etc. The
submittal of the sample selection lists is
necessary for regional office (RO)
validation of State reviews. Without
these lists, the integrity of the sampling
results would be suspect and the ROs
would have no data on the adequacy of
the States’ monthly sample draw or
review completion status.; Form
Number: CMS–319 (OMB#: 0938–0147);
Frequency: Reporting—Monthly;
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal
governments; Number of Respondents:
10; Total Annual Responses: 120; Total
Annual Hours: 960. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Jessica Woodard 410–786–9249.
For all other issues call 410–786–1326.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Certification of
Medicaid Eligibility Quality Control
Payment Error Rates and Supporting
Regulations Contained in 42 CFR
431.816; Use: Under the MEQC
program, States can operate the
traditional MEQC sample-and-review
program or States can elect to study
targeted areas of eligibility or program
administration that are error-prone or
that will help to prevent or reduce
erroneous or misspent funds. These
alternative MEQC programs are called
MEQC pilots. Some States operate
alternative MEQC programs as part of
their research and demonstration
waivers under Section 1115 of the
Social Security Act. The majority of
States operate some form of alternative
MEQC program. However, since the
number of States that conduct
traditional MEQC programs and
alternative MEQC programs can
fluctuate at any time, we have assessed
the burden and costs associated with
submitting the Payment Error Rate form
as if all States were reporting this
information.
State agencies are required to submit
the Payment Error Rate form to their
respective CMS Regional Offices.
Regional Office staff will review these
forms for completeness and will forward
