Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
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 estimated burden, ways to enhance
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 August 19, 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
following transmissions: OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Attention: CMS Desk Officer, Fax
Number: (202) 395–5806 OR, Email:

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 without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Uniform Institutional Provider Bill and
Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR
424.5; Use: Section 42 CFR 424.5(a)(5)
requires providers of services to submit
a claim for payment prior to any
Medicare reimbursement. Charges billed
are coded by revenue codes. The bill
specifies diagnoses according to the
International Classification of Diseases,
Tenth Edition (ICD–10) code. Inpatient
procedures are identified by ICD–10
codes, and outpatient procedures are
described using the CMS Common
Procedure Coding System (HCPCS).
These are standard systems of
identification for all major health
insurance claims payers. Submission of
information on the UB–04 CMS–1450
permits Medicare Part A MACs to
receive consistent data for proper
payment. Medicare receives over 99.97
percent of the claims submitted by
institutional providers electronically.
CMS only accepts electronic claims in
the Accredited Standards Committee
(ASC) Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) 837 format
for institutional providers unless the
provider meets CMS requirements to
submit paper claims. With the uniform
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
bill, we have been able to achieve a
more uniform and a more automated bill
processing system for Medicare
institutional and providers. The UB–04
CMS–1450 is managed by the National
Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC),
sponsored by the American Hospital
Association. Most payers are
represented on this body, and the UB–
04 is widely used in the industry.
Medicare Part A MACs use the
information on the UB–04 CMS–1450 to
determine whether to make Medicare
payment for the services provided, the
payment amount, and whether or not to
apply deductibles to the claim. The
same method is also used by other
payers. CMS is also a secondary user of
data. CMS uses the information to
develop a database, which is used to
update, and revise established payment
schedules and other payment rates for
covered services. CMS also uses the
information to conduct studies and
reports. Form Number: CMS–1045
(OMB control number: 0938–0997);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:
State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
Number of Respondents:53,111; Total
Annual Responses: 204,138,881; Total
Annual Hours: 1,797,958. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

786–4143.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Information
Collection Requirements for Compliance
with Individual and Group Market
Reforms under Title XXVII of the Public
Health Service Act; Use: Sections 2723
and 2761 of the Public Health Service
Act (PHS Act) direct the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
to enforce a provision (or provisions) of
title XXVII of the PHS Act (including
the implementing regulations in parts
144, 146, 147, and 148 of title 45 of the
Code of Federal Regulations) with
respect to health insurance issuers when
a state has notified CMS that it has not
enacted legislation to enforce or that it
is not otherwise enforcing a provision
(or provisions) of the group and
individual market reforms with respect
to health insurance issuers, or when
CMS has determined that a state is not
substantially enforcing one or more of
those provisions. Section 2723 of the
PHS Act directs CMS to enforce an
applicable provision (or applicable
provisions) of title XXVII of the PHS Act
(including the implementing regulations
in parts 146 and 147 of title 45 of the
Code of Federal Regulations) with
respect to group health plans that are
non-Federal governmental plans. This
