Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2013 / Notices Title of Information Collection: Request for Termination of Premium Hospital and Supplementary Medical Insurance; Use: The CMS–1763 provides us and the Social Security Administration (SSA) with the enrollee’s request for termination of Part B, Part A or both Part B and A premium coverage. The form is completed by an SSA claims or field representative using information provided by the Medicare enrollee during an interview. The purpose of the form is to provide to the enrollee with a standardized format to request termination of Part B, Part A premium coverage or both, explain why the enrollee wishes to terminate such coverage, and to acknowledge that the ramifications of the decision are understood. Form Number: CMS–1763 (OCN: 0938–0025); Frequency: Once; Affected Public: Individuals or households; Number of Respondents: 14,000; Total Annual Responses: 14,000; Total Annual Hours: 5,833. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Lindsay Smith at 410–786–6843.) 3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension without change of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Advantage Program Requirements; Use: Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations and potential MA organizations (applicants) use the information to comply with the application requirements and the MA contract requirements. We will use this information to: approve contract applications, monitor compliance with contract requirements, make proper payment to MA organizations, determine compliance with the new prescription drug benefit requirements, and to ensure that correct information is disclosed to Medicare beneficiaries (both potential enrollees and enrollees). Form Number: CMS–R–267 (OCN: 0938–0753); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Individuals or households and Business or other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 18,043,776; Total Annual Responses: 21,935,728; Total Annual Hours: 8,529,541. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Dana Burley at 410–786–4547.) 4. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare Secondary Payer Information Collection and Supporting Regulations; Use: We are seeking to renew approval to collect information from beneficiaries, providers, physicians, insurers, and suppliers on health insurance coverage that is primary to Medicare. Collecting this information VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:05 Sep 16, 2013 Jkt 229001 allows us to identify those Medicare beneficiaries who are in situations where Medicare is statutorily required to be a secondary payer (MSP), thereby safeguarding the Medicare Trust Fund. Specifically, we use the information to accurately process and pay Medicare claims and to make necessary recoveries in accordance with § 1862(b) of the Act (42 U.S.C.1395y(b)). If an active MSP situation is identified and Medicare is inappropriately billed as primary, the claim will be rejected. The hospitals, other providers, physicians, pharmacies, and suppliers use the information collected (and furnished to them on the denial) to properly bill the appropriate primary payer. Completing an MSP questionnaire and making an accurate MSP determination helps hospitals, other providers, physicians, pharmacies, and suppliers to bill correctly the first time, saving the Medicare Program money and affording Medicare beneficiaries an enhanced level of customer service (which, again, is particularly important in Part D due to the real-time adjudication of claims and the complicated nature of its benefit administration). Insurers, underwriters, third party administrators, and selfinsured/self-administered employers use the information to ensure compliance with the law by refunding any identified mistaken payments to Medicare. Form Number: CMS–250–254 (OCN: 0938–0214); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Private Sector, State, Local or Tribal Governments; Number of Respondents: 143,070,217; Total Annual Responses: 143,070,217; Total Annual Hours: 1,788,057.
