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–10518 Application for
Participation in the Intravenous
Immune Globulin (IVIG)
Demonstration
CMS–10340 Collection of Encounter
Data from MA Organizations
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
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Application for
Participation in the Intravenous
Immune Globulin (IVIG) Demonstration;
Use: Traditional fee-for-service (FFS)
Medicare covers some or all
components of home infusion services
depending on the circumstances. By
special statutory provision, Medicare
Part B covers intravenous immune
globulin (IVIG) for persons with primary
immune deficiency disease (PIDD) who
wish to receive the drug at home.
However, Medicare does not separately
pay for any services or supplies to
administer it if the person is not
homebound and otherwise receiving
services under a Medicare Home Health
episode of care. As a result, many
beneficiaries have chosen to receive the
drug at their doctor’s office or in an
outpatient hospital setting.
The Medicare IVIG Demonstration
application requests basic demographic
information necessary to determine
eligibility for participation in the
demonstration. This information is used
by CMS’ implementation support
contractor to determine eligibility for
the demonstration and to set up a
demonstration eligibility record that is
used by the Medicare claims system
when processing claims for
demonstration services.
The application also includes some
questions about how and where the
beneficiary is currently receiving
immunoglobulin and related services.
This data is being used by the
evaluation contractor to conduct its
evaluation and to better understand
E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM
12FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Notices
which beneficiaries are electing to
enroll in the demonstration. Form
Number: CMS–10518 (OMB control
number: 0938–1246); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Individuals
and Households; Number of
Respondents: 6,500; Total Annual
Responses: 6,500; Total Annual Hours:
1,625. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Debra K.
Gillespie at 410–786–4631.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Collection of
Encounter Data from MA Organizations;
Use: Section 1853(a)(3)(B) of the Act
directs CMS to require MA
organizations and eligible organizations
with risk-sharing contracts under 1876
to ‘‘submit data regarding inpatient
hospital services . . . and data
regarding other services and other
information as the Secretary deems
necessary’’ in order to implement a
methodology for ‘‘risk adjusting’’
payments made to MA organizations
and other entities. Risk adjustments to
enrollee monthly payments are made in
order to take into account ‘‘variations in
per capita costs based on [the] health
status’’ of the Medicare beneficiaries
enrolled in an MA plan.
CMS collects encounter data for
beneficiaries enrolled in MA
organizations, section 1876 Cost Health
Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)/
Competitive Medical Plans (CMPs),
Programs of All-inclusive Care for the
Elderly (PACE) organizations, and
MMPs. For PACE organizations and
MMPs, encounter data serves essentially
the same purposes as it does for the MA
program (for Part C and Part D risk
adjustment). To 1876 Cost Plans that
offer Part D coverage, CMS makes risk
adjusted, capitated monthly payments
for Part D.
MA organizations, Part D
organizations, 1876 Cost Plans, MMPs
and PACE organizations must use a
CMS approved Network Service Vendor
to establish connectivity with the CMS
secure network for operational
purposes. Once connectivity is
established, these entities must submit
required documents to CMS’s front-end
contractor to obtain security access
credentials. Form Number: CMS–10340
(OMB control number: 0938–1152);
Frequency: Annually; Affected Public:
Private Sector, Business or other forprofits, Not-for-profits institutions;
Number of Respondents: 733; Total
Annual Responses: 1,068,204,429; Total
Annual Hours: 35,618,366. (For policy
questions regarding this collection
contact Michael P. Massimini at 410–
786–1560.)
