SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Application for
Participation in the Intravenous
Immune Globulin (IVIG) Demonstration;
Use: Traditional fee-for-service (FFS)
Medicare covers some or all
components of home infusion services
depending on the circumstances. By
special statutory provision, Medicare
Part B covers intravenous immune
globulin (IVIG) for persons with primary
immune deficiency disease (PIDD) who
wish to receive the drug at home.
However, Medicare does not separately
pay for any services or supplies to
administer it if the person is not
homebound and otherwise receiving
services under a Medicare Home Health
episode of care. As a result, many
beneficiaries have chosen to receive the
drug at their doctor’s office or in an
outpatient hospital setting.
On September 29, 2017, the ‘‘Disaster
Tax Relief and Airport and Airway
Extension Act of 2017’’ was enacted into
law. Section 302 of this legislation
extends the Medicare IVIG
Demonstration through December 31,
2020. While existing beneficiaries
enrolled in the demonstration as of
September 30, 2017 will be
automatically re-enrolled, in order to
continue to enroll new beneficiaries into
the demonstration, an application is
required. The original enrollment and
financial limits remain and CMS will
continue to monitor both to assure that
statutory limitations are not exceeded.
This collection of information is for
the application to participate in the
demonstration. Participation is
voluntary and may be terminated by the
beneficiary at any time. Beneficiaries
who do not participate will continue to
be eligible to receive all of the regular
Medicare Part B benefits that they are
would be eligible for in the absence of
the demonstration. Form Number:
CMS–10518 (OMB control number:
0938–1246); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Individuals and
households; Number of Respondents:
1,220; Total Annual Responses: 1,220
Total Annual Hours: 305. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
