information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow

comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
DATES: Comments on the collection(s) of
information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by May 24, 2019.
ADDRESSES: When commenting on the
proposed information collections,
please reference the document identifier
or OMB control number. To be assured
consideration, comments and
recommendations must be received by
the OMB desk officer via one of the

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
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
17165
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: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Advantage Qualifying Payment
Arrangement Incentive (MAQI)
Demonstration; Use: CMS plans to use
this data to implement and test the
MAQI Demonstration, with its
associated research questions. More
specifically, CMS would review the
information collected in both forms to
determine whether clinicians meet the
conditions for waivers of MIPS
reporting requirements and payment
adjustments set forth in the
Demonstration and therefore may
receive the waiver afforded under the
demonstration. Information collected as
part of the Qualifying Payment
Arrangement Submission Form would
provide a basis for CMS to determine
whether a clinician’s contractual/
payment arrangement is a Qualifying
Payment Arrangement under the MAQI
Demonstration. For example, the
information collected could be reviewed
against the Demonstration’s standards
for minimum financial risk. Information
collected as part of the Threshold Data
Submission Form would allow CMS to
make the calculations necessary to
determine whether the MAQI
participant meets the threshold(s)
required to receive waivers from MIPS
reporting requirements and payment
adjustments under the Demonstration.
While selection of qualifying
clinicians would be the main use of
these data, CMS might also use this
information to inform monitoring and
the evaluation of the MAQI
Demonstration as needed and in
conjunction with the MAQI
Demonstration’s research questions.
Finally, this data may be used by the
Department of Justice, a court, or
adjudicatory body, another federal
agency investigating fraud, waste, and
abuse, appropriate agencies in the case
of a system breach, or the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security in the
event of a cybersecurity incident. Form

or requirements that members of the

requirement, CMS is publishing this

Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision with change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Part C Medicare
Advantage Reporting Requirements and
Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR
422.516(a); Use: Section 1852(m) of the
Social Security Act (the Act) and CMS
regulations at 42 CFR 422.135 allow
Medicare Advantage (MA) plans the
ability to provide ‘‘additional telehealth
benefits’’ to enrollees starting in plan
year 2020 and treat them as basic
benefits. MA additional telehealth
benefits are limited to services for
which benefits are available under
Medicare Part B but which are not
payable under section 1834(m) of the
Act. In addition, MA additional
telehealth benefits are services that been
identified by the MA plan for the
applicable year as clinically appropriate
to furnish through electronic
information and telecommunications
technology (or ‘‘electronic exchange’’)
when the physician (as defined in
section 1861(r) of the Act) or
practitioner (as defined in section
1842(b)(18)(C) of the Act) providing the
service is not in the same location as the
enrollee. Per § 422.135(d), MA plans
may only furnish MA additional
telehealth benefits using contracted
providers.
The changes for the 2020 Reporting
Requirements will require plans to
report Telehealth benefits. The data
collected in this measure will provide
CMS with a better understanding of the
number of organizations utilizing
Telehealth per contract and to also
capture those specialties used for both
in-person and Telehealth. This data will
allow CMS to improve its policy and
process surrounding Telehealth. In
addition, the specialist and facility data
we are collecting aligns with some of
the provider and facility specialty types
that organizations are required to
include in their networks and to submit
on their HSD tables in the Network
Management Module in Health Plan
Management System. Form Number:
CMS–10261 (OMB control number:
0938–1054); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: State, Local, or Tribal
Governments; Number of Respondents:
594; Total Annual Responses: 4,752;
Total Annual Hours: 187,926. (For
policy questions regarding this
collection contact Mark Smith at 410–
786–8015.)
