CMS–287–19 (OMB control number:
0938–0202); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Private Sector (Business
or other for-profit and Not-for-profit
institutions); Number of Respondents:
1,507; Total Annual Responses: 1,507;
Total Annual Hours: 702,262. (For

4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Notification of
FLS and CMS of Co-Located Medicare
Providers; Use: Many long-term care
hospitals (LTCHs) are co-located with
other Medicare providers (acute care
hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation
facilities (IRFs), skilled nursing facilities
(SNFs), inpatient psychiatric facilities
(IPFs)), which could lead to potential
gaming of the Medicare system based on
inappropriate patient shifting. In
regulations at 42 CFR 412.22(e)(3) and
(h)(6) CMS requires LTCHs to notify
Medicare Administrative Contractors
(MACs) and CMS of co-located
providers. The requirement regarding
collection of information at § 412.22
concerning a LTCH’s (or a LTCH
satellite’s) notification to its MAC and
CMS of its co-located status is needed
in order for Medicare to appropriately
pay co-located hospitals-withinhospitals (HwHs) and satellites. Under
§§ 412.22(e)(3) and (h)(6), an LTCH or a
satellite of an LTCH that occupies space
in a building used by another hospital,
or in one or more entire buildings
located on the same campus as
buildings used by another hospital must
notify its MAC and CMS in writing of
its co-location within 60 days of its first
cost reporting period that began on or
after October 1, 2002. Form Number:
CMS–10088 (OMB control number:
0938–0897); Frequency: Yearly; Affected
Public: Private Sector (Business or other
for-profit, not-for-profit institutions);
Number of Respondents: 25; Total
Annual Responses: 25; Total Annual
Hours: 6. (For policy questions
