This notice sets out a summary of the
use and burden associated with the
following information collections. More
detailed information can be found in
each collection’s supporting statement
and associated materials (see
ADDRESSES).
CMS–10765 Review Choice
Demonstration for Inpatient
Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Services
Under the 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
requires federal agencies to publish a
60-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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Review Choice
Demonstration for Inpatient
Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Services;
Use: Section 402(a)(1)(J) of the Social
Security Amendments of 1967 (42
U.S.C. 1395b–1(a)(1)(J)) authorizes the
Secretary to ‘‘develop or demonstrate
improved methods for the investigation
and prosecution of fraud in the
provision of care or services under the
health programs established by the
Social Security Act (the Act).’’ Pursuant
to this authority, the CMS seeks to
develop and implement a Medicare
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
demonstration project, which CMS
believes will help assist in developing
improved procedures for the
identification, investigation, and
prosecution of Medicare fraud occurring
among IRFs providing services to
Medicare beneficiaries.
This demonstration will assist in
developing improved procedures for the
identification, investigation, and
prosecution of potential Medicare fraud.
The demonstration will ensure that
payments for IRF services are
appropriate through either pre-claim or
postpayment review, thereby working
towards the prevention and
identification of potential fraud, waste,
and abuse, as well as protecting the
Medicare Trust Funds from improper
payments while reducing Medicare
appeals. CMS proposes implementing
the demonstration in Alabama, then
expand to Pennsylvania, Texas, and
California. After the initial four states,
CMS will expand the demonstration to
include the IRFs in any state that bill to
Medicare Administrative Contractor
(MAC) jurisdictions JJ, JL, JH, and JE.
Under this demonstration, CMS
proposes to offer choices for providers
to demonstrate their compliance with
CMS’ IRF policies. Providers in the
demonstration states may participate in
either 100 percent pre-claim review, or
100 percent postpayment review. These
providers will continue to be subject to
the selected review method until the
IRF reaches the target affirmation or
claim approval rate (90 percent, based
on a minimum of 10 pre-claim requests
or claims submitted). Once an IRF
reaches the target pre-claim review
affirmation or postpayment review
claim approval rate, it may choose to be
relieved from claim reviews under the
demonstration, except for a spot check
of five percent of their claims to ensure
continued compliance.
The information required under this
collection is required by Medicare
contractors to determine proper
payment or if there is a suspicion of
fraud. Under the pre-claim review
choice, IRFs will send the pre-claim
review request along with all required
documentation to the Medicare
contractor for review prior to submitting
the final claim for payment. If a claim
is submitted without a pre-claim review
decision on file, the Medicare contractor
will request the information from the
IRF to determine if payment is
appropriate. For the postpayment
review option, the Medicare contractor
will also request the information from
the IRF provider who submitted the
claim for payment from the Medicare
program to determine if payment was
appropriate. Form Number: CMS–10765

Information Collection Request Title:
Voluntary Partner Surveys to Implement
Executive Order 12862 in the Health
Resources and Services Administration,
OMB No. 0915–0212—Extension
Abstract: In response to Executive
Order 12862, HRSA is proposing to
conduct voluntary customer surveys of
its partners to assess strengths and
weaknesses in program services and
processes. HRSA partners are typically
state or local governments, health care
facilities, health care consortia, health
care providers, and researchers. HRSA
is requesting continued approval for a
generic clearance from OMB to conduct
the partner surveys.
Partner surveys to be conducted by
HRSA might include, for example, mail
or telephone surveys of grantees to
determine satisfaction with grant
processes or technical assistance

provided by a contractor, or in-class
evaluation forms completed by
providers who receive training from
HRSA grantees, to measure satisfaction
with the training experience. Results of
these surveys will be used to plan and
redirect resources and efforts as needed
to improve services and processes.
Focus groups may also be used to gain
partner input into the design of mail
and telephone surveys. Focus groups,
in-class evaluation forms, mail surveys,
and telephone surveys are expected to
be the preferred data collection
methods.
A generic approval allows HRSA to
conduct a limited number of partner
surveys without a full-scale OMB
review of each survey. If this generic
received continued approval,
information on each individual partner
survey will not be published in the
Federal Register.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
