Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
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: Revision of a currently
approved Collection, Title of
Information Collection: Medicare Health
Outcomes Survey (HOS); Use: CMS has
a responsibility to its Medicare
beneficiaries to require that care
provided by managed care organizations
under contract to CMS is of high
quality. One way of ensuring high
quality care in Medicare Managed Care
Organizations (MCOs), or more
commonly referred to as Medicare
Advantage Organizations (MAOs), is
through the development of
standardized, uniform performance
measures to enable CMS to gather the
data needed to evaluate the care
provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The
goal of the Medicare Health Outcome
Survey (HOS) program is to gather valid,
reliable, clinically meaningful health
status data in Medicare managed care
for use in quality improvement
activities, plan accountability, public
reporting, and improving health. All
managed care plans with Medicare
Advantage (MA) contracts must
participate. CMS, in collaboration with
the National Committee for Quality
Assurance (NCQA), launched the
Medicare HOS as part of the
AGENCY:
PO 00000
Frm 00061
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
25181
Effectiveness of Care component of the
former Health Plan Employer Data and
Information Set, now known as the
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and
Information Set (HEDIS®).
The HOS measure was developed
under the guidance of a technical expert
panel comprised of individuals with
specific expertise in the health care
industry and outcomes measurement.
The measure includes the most recent
advances in summarizing physical and
mental health outcomes results and
appropriate risk adjustment techniques.
In addition to health outcomes
measures, the HOS is used to collect the
Management of Urinary Incontinence in
Older Adults, Physical Activity in Older
Adults, Fall Risk Management, and
Osteoporosis Testing in Older Women
HEDIS® measures. The collection of
Medicare HOS is necessary to hold
Medicare managed care contractors
accountable for the quality of care they
are delivering. This reporting
requirement allows CMS to obtain the
information necessary for proper
oversight of the Medicare Advantage
program.
Since the last collection, the survey
instrument has been revised and the
burden has changed. There have been
some questions added and others
deleted. Form Number: CMS–10203
(OCN: 0938–0701); Frequency: Yearly;
Affected Public: Individuals and
households; Number of Respondents:
2,352; Total Annual Responses:
666,120; Total Annual Hours: 219,820
(For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Jason Petroski at 410–
786–4681. For all other issues call 410–
786–1326.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare Feefor-Service Prepayment Medical
Review; Use: The information required
under this collection is requested by
Medicare contractors to determine
proper payment or if there is a suspicion
of fraud. Medicare contractors request
the information from providers or
suppliers submitting claims for payment
from the Medicare program when data
analysis indicates aberrant billing
patterns or other information which
may present a vulnerability to the
Medicare program. In addition, we are
specifically soliciting public comments
on the information collection burden
that is associated with the currently
approved information collection
request. Form Number: CMS–10417
(OMB 0938–0969); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: Private
Sector (Business or other for-profit and
Not-for-profit institutions); Number of
