Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; 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), 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

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:
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey
for Physician Quality Reporting; Use:
The Physician Quality Reporting System
(PQRS) was established in 2006 as a
voluntary ‘‘pay-for-reporting’’ program
that allows physicians and other eligible
healthcare professionals to report
information to Medicare about the
quality of care provided to beneficiaries
who have certain medical conditions.
The PQRS provides incentive payments
to physicians who report quality data.
Since the program’s inception, these
results have not been publicly available
for use by consumers.
The Physician Compare Web site was
launched December 30, 2010, to meet
requirements set forth by Section 10331
of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The
ACA requires CMS to establish a
Physician Compare Web site by January
1, 2011, containing information on
physicians enrolled in the Medicare
program and other eligible professionals
who participate in the Physician Quality
Reporting Initiative. By no later than
January 1, 2013 (and for reporting
periods beginning no earlier than
January 1, 2012), CMS is required to
implement a plan to make information
on physician performance publicly
available through Physician Compare. A
key component of the reporting
requirements under the ACA is public
reporting on physician performance that
includes patient experience measures.
The collection and reporting of a
Consumer Assessment of Healthcare
Providers and Systems (CAHPS) survey
for Physician Quality Reporting will
fulfill this requirement.
The U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) has developed
the National Quality Strategy that was
called for under the ACA to create
national aims and priorities to guide
local, state, and national efforts to
