SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
National Practitioner Data Bank for
Adverse Information on Physicians and
Other Health Care Practitioners—45
CFR part 60 Regulations and Forms.
OMB No. 0915–0126—Revision.
Abstract: This is a request for a
revision of OMB approval of the
information collection contained in
regulations found at 45 CFR part 60
governing the National Practitioner Data
Bank (NPDB) and the forms to be used
in registering with, reporting
information to, and requesting
information from the NPDB.
Administrative forms are also included
to aid in monitoring compliance with
federal reporting and querying
requirements. Responsibility for NPDB
implementation and operation resides
in the Bureau of Health Workforce,
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
The intent of the NPDB is to improve
the quality of health care by
encouraging hospitals, state licensing
boards, professional societies, and other
entities providing health care services to
identify and discipline those who
engage in unprofessional behavior, and
to restrict the ability of incompetent
health care practitioners, providers, or
suppliers to move from state to state
without disclosure of previous
damaging or incompetent performance.
It also serves as a fraud and abuse
clearinghouse for the reporting and
disclosing of certain final adverse
actions (excluding settlements in which
no findings of liability have been made)
taken against health care practitioners,
providers, or suppliers by health plans,
federal agencies, and state agencies.
The reporting forms, request for
information forms (query forms), and
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
7481
administrative forms (used to monitor
compliance) are accessed, completed,
and submitted to the NPDB
electronically through the NPDB Web
site at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/. All
reporting and querying is performed
through this secure Web site.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NPDB acts primarily
as a flagging system; its principal
purpose is to facilitate comprehensive
review of practitioners’ professional
credentials and background.
Information is collected from, and
disseminated to, eligible entities
(entities that are entitled to query and/
or report to the NPDB as authorized in
Title 45 part 60 of the Code of Federal
Regulations) on the following: (1)
Medical malpractice payments, (2)
licensure actions taken by Boards of
Medical Examiners, (3) state licensure
and certification actions, (4) federal
licensure and certification actions, (5)
negative actions or findings taken by
peer review organizations or private
accreditation entities, (6) adverse
actions taken against clinical privileges,
(7) federal or state criminal convictions
related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (8) civil judgments
related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (9) exclusions from
participation in federal or state health
care programs, and (10) other
adjudicated actions or decisions. It is
intended that NPDB information should
be considered with other relevant
information in evaluating credentials of
health care practitioners, providers, and
suppliers.
Likely Respondents: Eligible entities
that are entitled to query and/or report
to the NPDB as authorized in
regulations found at 45 CFR part 60.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: National Practitioner Data
Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care
Practitioners--45 CFR part 60 Regulations and Forms. OMB No. 0915-
0126--Revision.
Abstract: This is a request for a revision of OMB approval of the
information collection contained in regulations found at 45 CFR part 60
governing the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the forms to
be used in registering with, reporting information to, and requesting

aid in monitoring compliance with federal reporting and querying
requirements. Responsibility for NPDB implementation and operation
resides in the Bureau of Health Workforce, Health Resources and

The intent of the NPDB is to improve the quality of health care by
encouraging hospitals, state licensing boards, professional societies,
and other entities providing health care services to identify and
discipline those who engage in unprofessional behavior, and to restrict
the ability of incompetent health care practitioners, providers, or
suppliers to move from state to state without disclosure of previous
damaging or incompetent performance. It also serves as a fraud and
abuse clearinghouse for the reporting and disclosing of certain final
adverse actions (excluding settlements in which no findings of
liability have been made) taken against health care practitioners,
providers, or suppliers by health plans, federal agencies, and state
agencies.
The reporting forms, request for information forms (query forms),
and administrative forms (used to monitor compliance) are accessed,
completed, and submitted to the NPDB electronically through the NPDB
Web site at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/. All reporting and querying is

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The NPDB acts primarily

comprehensive review of practitioners' professional credentials and
background. Information is collected from, and disseminated to,
eligible entities (entities that are entitled to query and/or report to
the NPDB as authorized in Title 45 part 60 of the Code of Federal
Regulations) on the following: (1) Medical malpractice payments, (2)
licensure actions taken by Boards of Medical Examiners, (3) state
licensure and certification actions, (4) federal licensure and

criminal convictions related to the delivery of a health care item or
service, (8) civil judgments related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (9) exclusions from participation in federal or state
health care programs, and (10) other adjudicated actions or decisions.
It is intended that NPDB information should be considered with other
relevant information in evaluating credentials of health care
practitioners, providers, and suppliers.
Likely Respondents: Eligible entities that are entitled to query

Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
