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
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
