Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change
of a currently approved collection; Title
of Information Collection: Electronic
Submission of Medicare Graduate
Medical Education (GME) Affiliation
Agreements; Use: Existing regulations at
§ 413.75(b) permit hospitals that share
residents to elect to form a Medicare
GME affiliated group if they are in the
same or contiguous urban or rural areas,
if they are under common ownership, or
if they are jointly listed as program
sponsors or major participating
institutions in the same program by the
accrediting agency. The purpose of a
Medicare GME affiliated group is to
provide flexibility to hospitals in
structuring rotations under an aggregate
full time equivalent (FTE) resident cap
when they share residents. The existing
regulations at § 413.79(f)(1) specify that
each hospital in a Medicare GME
affiliated group must submit a Medicare
GME affiliation agreement (as defined
under § 413.75(b)) to the Medicare
Administrative Contractor (MAC)
servicing the hospital and send a copy
to the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Central
Office, no later than July 1 of the
residency program year during which
the Medicare GME affiliation agreement
will be in effect.
CMS will use the information
contained in electronic affiliation
agreements as documentation of the
existence of Medicare GME affiliations,
and to verify that the affiliations being
formed by teaching hospitals for the
purposes of sharing their Medicare GME
FTE cap slots are valid according to
CMS regulations. CMS will also use
these affiliation agreements as reference
materials when potential issues
involving specific affiliations arise.
While we have used hard copies of
affiliation agreements for those same
purposes in the past, we implemented
this electronic submission process in
order to expedite and ease the process
of retrieving, analyzing and evaluating
affiliation agreements. Form Number:
