Request: Reinstatement of a previously
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Disclosures
Required of Certain Hospitals and
Critical Access Hospitals Regarding
Physician Ownership; Use: This
information collection relates to the
required third party disclosures by
certain Medicare-participating hospitals
and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs)
and physicians to their patients. There
are 5 types of disclosures required. The
intent of the disclosure notice is to
assist the patient in making an informed
decision regarding their care. The first
disclosure requires physician owned
hospitals and CAHs to disclose to its
patients whether the hospitals/CAHs are
physician-owned and, if so, the names
of the physician-owners. The second
disclosure requires the physician owner
or investor in the hospital, as part of his
or her continued medical staff
membership or admitting privileges, to
disclose to the patient being referred to
the hospital any ownership or
investment interest held by the
physician or an immediate family
member of the physician. The third
disclosure requires physician owned
hospitals to disclose on all public
websites for and in any public
advertising for the hospital that the
hospital is owned or invested in by
physicians. The fourth and fifth
disclosures apply to all hospitals and
CAHs that do not have a Doctor of
Medicine (MD) or a Doctor of
Osteopathic Medicine (DO) on the
premises at all times to disclose this to
patients upon admission or registration
for both inpatient and specified
outpatient services. These hospitals and
CAHs must provide a written disclosure
to the patients admitted to the hospital
and must also post a conspicuous notice
in the Emergency Departments (ED)
which states that the hospital does not
a physician present 24 hours per day, 7
days per week. Form Number: CMS–
