Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
AGENCY:
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
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 a currently
approved collection. Title of
Information Collection: State Agency
Sheets for Verifying Exclusions from the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:52 Jun 28, 2012
Jkt 226001
Inpatient Prospective Payment System
and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR
412.20–412.29. Use: For first time
verification requests for exclusion from
the Inpatient Prospective Payment
System (IPPS), a hospital/unit must
notify the Regional Office (RO) servicing
the State in which it is located that it
believes it meets the criteria for
exclusion from the IPPS. Currently, all
new inpatient rehabilitation facilities
(IRFs) must provide written certification
that the inpatient population it intends
to serve will meet the requirements of
the IPPS exclusion criteria for IRFs.
They must also complete the Form
CMS–437A if they are a rehabilitation
unit or complete Form CMS–437B if
they are a rehabilitation hospital. This
information is submitted to the State
Agency (SA) no later than 5 months
before the date the hospital/unit would
become subject to IRF–PPS.
CMS proposes to continue to use the
Criteria Worksheets (Forms CMS–437A
and CMS–437B) for verifying first-time
exclusions from the IPPS, for complaint
surveys, for its annual 5 percent
validation sample, and for facility selfattestation. These forms are related to
the survey and certification and
Medicare approval of the IPPS-excluded
rehabilitation units and rehabilitation
hospitals.
For rehabilitation hospitals and
rehabilitation units already excluded
from the IPPS, annual onsite reverification surveys by the SA are not
required. These hospitals and units will
be provided with a copy of the
appropriate CMS–437 Worksheet at
least 5-months prior to the beginning of
its cost reporting period, so that the
hospital/unit official may complete and
sign an attestation statement and
complete and return the appropriate
CMS–437A or CMS–437B at least 5
months prior to the beginning of its cost
reporting period. Fiscal Intermediaries
will continue to verify, on an annual
basis, compliance with the 60 percent
rule (42 CFR 412.29(b)(2)) for
rehabilitation hospitals and
rehabilitation units through a sample of
medical records and the SA will verify
the medical director requirement.
The SA will maintain the documents
unless instructed otherwise by the RO.
The SA will notify the RO at least 60
days prior to the end of the
rehabilitation hospital’s/unit’s cost
reporting period of the IRF’s compliance
or non-compliance with the payment
requirements. The information collected
on these forms, along with other
information submitted by the IRF is
necessary for determining exclusion
from the IPPS. Hospitals and units that
have already been excluded need not
PO 00000
Frm 00072

reapply for exclusion. These facilities
will automatically be reevaluated yearly
to determine whether they continue to
meet the exclusion criteria.
Both forms have been revised since
the publication of the 60-day Federal
Register notice on April 4, 2012 (77 FR
20404). Burden estimates have not
changed.
Form Number: CMS–437A and CMS–
437B (OCN 0938–0986). Frequency:
Yearly. Affected Public: Private Sector
(Business or other for-profits). Number
of Respondents: 1,164. Total Annual
Responses: 1,164. Total Annual Hours:
291. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Georgia Johnson at
410–786–6859. For all other issues call
410–786–1326.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection. Title of
Information Collection: Probable Fraud
Measurement Pilot; Use: The Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is
seeking Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval of the
collections required for a probable fraud
measurement pilot. The probable fraud
measurement pilot would establish a
baseline estimate of probable fraud in
payments for home health care services
in the fee-for-service Medicare program.
CMS and its agents will collect
information from home health agencies,
the referring physicians and Medicare
beneficiaries selected in a national
random sample of home health claims.
The pilot will rely on the information
collected along with a summary of the
service history of the HHA, the referring
provider, and the beneficiary to estimate
the percentage of total payments that are
associated with probable fraud and the
percentage of all claims that are
associated with probable fraud for
Medicare fee-for-service home health.
CMS is requesting an exemption from
the Paperwork Reduction Act under 5
CFR 1320.14A. However, CMS is
providing information related to the
purpose and need for this data
collection in Supporting Statement
Part A.
Form Number: CMS–10406 (OCN:
0938—New). Frequency: Yearly;
Affected Public: Individual and Private
Sector—Business or other for-profits;
Number of Respondents: 6,000; Total
Annual Responses: 6,000; Total Annual
Hours: 10,500. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Kelly
Gent at 410–786–0918. For all other
issues call 410–786–1326.)
