1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Establishment of
Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans;
Exchange Standards for Employers; Use:
Section 1321(a) requires HHS to issue
regulations setting standards for meeting
the requirements under Title I of the
Affordable Care Act including the
offering of Qualified Health Plans
(QHPs) through the Exchanges. On
March 27, 2012, HHS published the rule
CMS–9989–F: Establishment of
Exchanges and Qualified Health Plans;
DATES:
PO 00000

Exchange Standards for Employers. The
Exchange rule contains provisions that
mandate reporting and data collections
necessary to ensure that health
insurance issuers are meeting the
requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
These information collection
requirements are set forth in 45 CFR
part 156.
Information collected by the
Exchanges or Medicaid and CHIP
agencies will be used to determine
eligibility for coverage through the
Exchange and insurance affordability
programs (i.e., Medicaid, CHIP, and
advance payment of the premium tax
credits); evaluate how CMS can best
communicate eligibility and enrollment
updates to issuers; and assist consumers
in enrolling in a QHP if eligible.
Applicants include anyone who may be
eligible for coverage through any of
these programs. Form Number: CMS–
10592 (OMB control number: 0938–
1341); Frequency: Annually, Monthly,
Occasionally; Affected Public: Private

Number of Respondents: 250; Total
Annual Responses: 250; Total Annual
Hours: 131,750. For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Anne
Pesto at 443–844–9966.
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicare
Quality of Care Complaint Form; Use:
Since 1986, Quality Improvement
Organizations (QIO) have been
responsible for conducting appropriate
reviews of written complaints submitted
by beneficiaries about the quality of care
they have received. In order to receive
these written complaints, each QIO has
developed its own unique form on
which beneficiaries can submit their
complaints. CMS has initiated several
efforts aimed at increasing the
standardization of all QIO activities, and
the development of a single,
standardized Medicare Quality of Care
Complaint Form beneficiaries can use to
submit complaints is a key step towards
attaining this increased standardization.
The Medicare Quality of Care Complaint
Form has been revised to improve its
content, in order to provide clarity and
support to beneficiaries. Section two of
the form was updated to replace the
Health Insurance Claim Number (HICN)
with the current Medicare Beneficiary
Identifier (MBI), a randomly generated
number that replaced the SSN-based
HICN. The information page of the form
was revised to provide clear instruction
as to how to complete the form and the
implication of not providing certain
requested information. Form Number:
