Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
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) 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: New collection. Title of
Information Collection: Transcatheter
Valve Therapy Registry and KCCQ–10.
Use: The data collection is required by
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) National Coverage
Determination (NCD) entitled,
‘‘Transcatheter Aortic Valve
Replacement (TAVR)’’. The TAVR
device is only covered when specific
conditions are met including that the
heart team and hospital are submitting
data in a prospective, national, audited
registry. The data includes patient,
practitioner and facility level variables
that predict outcomes such as all cause
mortality and quality of life. CMS finds
that the Society of Thoracic Surgery/

PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
American College of Cardiology
Transcatheter Valve Therapy (STS/ACC
TVT) Registry, one registry overseen by
the National Cardiovascular Data
Registry, meets the requirements
specified in the NCD on TAVR. The
TVT Registry will support a national
surveillance system to monitor the
safety and efficacy of the TAVR
technologies for the treatment of aortic
stenosis.
The data will also include the
variables on the eight item Kansas City
Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ–
10) to assess heath status, functioning
and quality of life. In the KCCQ, an
overall summary score can be derived
from the physical function, symptoms
(frequency and severity), social function
and quality of life domains. For each
domain, the validity, reproducibility,
responsiveness and interpretability have
been independently established. Scores
are transformed to a range of 0–100, in
which higher scores reflect better health
status.
The conduct of the STS/ACC TVT
Registry and the KCCQ–10 is in
accordance with Section 1142 of the
Social Security Act (the Act) that
describes the authority of the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ). Under section 1142, research
may be conducted and supported on the
outcomes, effectiveness, and
appropriateness of health care services
and procedures to identify the manner
in which disease, disorders, and other
health conditions can be prevented,
diagnosed, treated, and managed
clinically. Section 1862(a)(1)(E) of the
Act allows Medicare to cover under
coverage with evidence development
(CED) certain items or services for
which the evidence is not adequate to
support coverage under section
1862(a)(1)(A) and where additional data
gathered in the context of a clinical
setting would further clarify the impact
of these items and services on the health
of beneficiaries.
The data collected and analyzed in
the TVT Registry will be used by CMS
to determine if the TAVR is reasonable
and necessary (e.g., improves health
outcomes) for Medicare beneficiaries
under Section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Act.
Furthermore, data from the Registry will
assist the medical device industry and
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) in surveillance of the quality,
safety and efficacy of new medical
devices to treat aortic stenosis. For
purposes of the TAVR NCD, The TVT
Registry has contracted with the Data
Analytic Centers to conduct the
analyses. In addition, data will be made
available for research purposes under
the terms of a data use agreement that
