CMS–10500 National Implementation
of the Outpatient and Ambulatory
Surgery Consumer Assessment of
Healthcare Providers and Systems
(OAS CAHPS) Survey
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: Revision of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: National
Implementation of the Outpatient and
Ambulatory Surgery Consumer
Assessment of Healthcare Providers and
Systems (OAS CAHPS) Survey; Use:
The national implementation of OAS
CAHPS is designed to allow third-party,
CMS-approved survey vendors to
administer OAS CAHPS using mailonly, telephone-only, mixed-mode (mail
with telephone follow-up), mixed-mode
(web with mail follow-up), or mixedmode (web with telephone follow-up).
The information collected in the OAS
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
CAHPS will be used for the following
purposes:
• To provide a source of information
from which selected measures can be
publicly reported to beneficiaries to
help them make informed decisions for
outpatient surgery facility selection;
• To aid facilities with their internal
quality improvement efforts and
external benchmarking with other
facilities; and
• To provide CMS with information
for monitoring and public reporting
purposes.
CMS established a reporting program
in which ASCs and HOPDs can choose
to participate in the survey and also
choose whether or not to publicly report
data. HOPD and ASC facilities that
choose to participate contract with a
CMS-approved, independent third-party
survey vendor to implement the survey
on their behalf and to submit the OAS
CAHPS data to CMS. CMS publicly
reports comparative results from OAS
CAHPS after each facility has conducted
data collection for 12 months. OAS
CAHPS measures, enable consumers to
make more informed decisions when
choosing an outpatient surgery facility,
aid facilities in their quality
improvement efforts, and help CMS
monitor the performance of outpatient
surgery facilities. Form Number: CMS–
10500 (OMB control number: 0938–
1240); Frequency: Once; Affected
Public: Individuals and Households,
Business or other for-profits, Not-forprofit institutions and State, Local and

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
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
which beneficiaries are electing to
enroll in the demonstration. Form

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a) provides certain
protections for individuals applying for
and receiving federal benefits payments
under federal benefit programs. The law
governs the use of computer matching
by federal agencies when records in a
system of records (meaning, federal
agency records about individuals
retrieved by name or other personal
identifier) are matched with records of
other federal or non-federal agencies.
The Privacy Act requires agencies
involved in a matching program to:
1. Enter into a written agreement,
which must be prepared in accordance
with the Privacy Act, approved by the
Data Integrity Board of each source and
recipient federal agency, provided to
Congress and the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB), and made available
to the public, as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(o), (u)(3)(A), and (u)(4).
2. Notify the individuals whose
information will be used in the
matching program that the information
they provide is subject to verification
through matching, as required by 5
U.S.C. 552a(o)(1)(D).
3. Verify match findings before
suspending, terminating, reducing, or
making a final denial of an individual’s
benefits or payments or taking other
adverse action against the individual, as
required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(p).
4. Report the matching program to
Congress and the OMB, in advance and
annually, as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(o)(2)(A)(i), (r), and (u)(3)(D).
5. Publish advance notice of the
matching program in the Federal
Register as required by 5 U.S.C.
552a(e)(12).
