Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) has submitted the
following information collection request
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for
the proposed information collection is
published to obtain comments from the
public and affected agencies.
Written comments and suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
concerning the proposed collection of
information are encouraged. Your
comments should address any of the
following: (a) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) Minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and (e) Assess information
collection costs.
To request additional information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the information collection plan and
instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or

Background and Brief Description
The CDC Office of the Associate
Director for Policy intends to request
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approve a new collection
of information under the Paperwork
Reduction Act for three years. This data
collection will occur once, and
respondents will be surveyed once.
The Health Insurance Plans Research
Study will uniquely examine the
prevalence, characteristics, and
differences of prevention and wellness
programs offered by health insurance
plans in this critical era of healthcare
reform. There are no known studies that
have addressed the prevalence of
prevention and wellness programs
across health plans or explored the
granular details of these programs as
this study is intended to do. Not
conducting this study would be one less
step toward increasing healthy years of
life.
Furthermore, the Health Insurance
Plans Research Study will address the
priorities and goals of the CDC Office of
the Associate Director for Policy, Office
of Health System Collaboration: (a)
Identify and catalyze policy
opportunities such as the Affordable
Care Act to enhance healthcare
transformation, (b) advance CDC’s
public health-healthcare strategy to
improve population health, (c)
strengthen strategic partnerships with
healthcare systems and payers, federal
and non-federal, and (d) fully leverage
performance measures as a tool to
improve the health of individuals across
health systems and payers.
The results of this study are of great
interest not only to the CDC Office of
the Associate Director for Policy but to
other CDC Centers, Institutes, and
Offices; and other federal agencies and
partners such as the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA),
the members of the CDC Advisory
Committee to the Director, and the CDC
Public Health-Health Care Collaboration
Workgroup (federal, state, and local
public health; public and private
organizations; healthcare providers;
professional membership associations;
and academia representation).

CDC will select a sample of
approximately 150 commercial health
insurance plans in the United States
that differ by size and geography, in the
50 states and the District of Columbia,
to complete a web-based survey, the
Prevention and Wellness Assessment
Survey. The project team will provide
information and instructions about the
survey to health plan points of contact
in advance. The team will also make
information and instructions available
on the Web site, eliminating any
interactions between the respondent
and the project team, unless a
respondent(s) has questions or concerns
during completion of the survey.
The Prevention and Wellness
Assessment Survey will take
approximately 30 minutes to complete
per respondent for a total estimated
burden of 75 hours. Key health plan
contacts (e.g., medical directors, nurse
directors, or other healthcare
professional) will incur burden
associated with coordinating the time
and identifying a person to take the
survey. The burden associated with this
activity is estimated at 30 minutes per
key health plan contact for a maximum
of one key contact per health plan (1 key
contact × 150 health plans = 150 key
contacts), resulting in a total burden of
75 hours. In addition, administrative
support staff at select health plans may
assist with coordinating
communications between key health
plan points of contact and America’s
Health Insurance (AHIP). The estimated
administrative support burden is 30
minutes per health plan, resulting in a
total burden of 75 hours.
Following the analysis of survey data,
the project team will conduct one-hour
telephone interviews with no more than
nine health plans (1 hour × 9 health
plans) to gain a better understanding of
lessons learned and best practices
associated with the design and
implementation of prevention and
wellness programs by commercial
health insurance plans. The project
team will use this information to build
upon the knowledge gained through the
survey. For example, there may be
differences in how health plans
structure prevention and wellness
programs for different employer
accounts based on employer requests.
The estimated burden is one hour per
health plan, resulting in a total burden
of nine hours.
Best practices in outreach will be
utilized to maximize survey response
rates. Key health plan contacts at nonresponding health plans will receive
follow up by telephone, and one-to-one
assistance will be provided if needed.

The government intends to
accomplish the following as a result of
this data collection: (a) Identify high
priority opportunities for public health
and healthcare collaboration, (b) inform
a public health-healthcare strategic
agenda, (c) improve the use of clinical
preventive services, and (d) improve
capacity of healthcare systems to
incorporate public health practices and
principles. At the conclusion of this
study, a formal report, two issue briefs,
and potentially a manuscript for
publication will be produced.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
234.
