Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 183 / Friday, September 24, 2021 / Notices
(SUPPORT) for Patients and
Communities Act Section 1003
Demonstration Evaluation; Use: Section
1003 of the SUPPORT Act authorizes
the Secretary of HHS, in consultation
with the Director of the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality
(AHRQ) and the Assistant Secretary for
Mental Health and Substance Use from
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), to
conduct a 54-month demonstration
project (hereinafter, ‘‘the
Demonstration’’) which is designed to
increase the capacity of Medicaid
providers to deliver substance use
disorder (SUD) treatment and recovery
services.
Section 1003 also requires an
evaluation of the demonstration. The
evaluation is designed to assess:
• The effectiveness of the
Demonstration in increasing the
capacity of providers participating
under the Medicaid state plan (or a
waiver of such plan) to provide
substance use disorder treatment or
recovery services under such plan (or
waiver);
• The activities carried out under the
planning grants and demonstration
project;
• The extent to which participating
states have achieved the stated goals;
and
• The strengths and limitations of the
planning grants and demonstration
project.
This collection of information request
is intended to satisfy the reporting
requirements, defined in the statute,
regarding the impact of the
Demonstration. The evaluation of the
Demonstration will assess the extent to
which the participating states achieved
the goals they established to increase
substance use treatment or recovery
provider capacity under the Medicaid
program. This includes both the
planning and post-planning periods of
the demonstration, as evaluation during
both phases will enable CMS and
stakeholders to assess the effects of the
additional support provided to states
during the post-planning period,
relative to the planning period only.
Primary data collection will occur in
two rounds in year two and year four of
the evaluation. In both rounds, data
collection will consist of: (1) A survey
of providers in all 15 Planning Grant
states who are eligible to prescribe and/
or administer either buprenorphine or
methadone medication for opioid use
disorder (OUD), and (2) focus groups of
providers in five post-planning period
states (two focus groups per state, with
six to eight participants in each group)
who treat SUD, including OUD.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
The survey will gather information on
provider experiences related to
Medicaid provider enrollment, SUD
service delivery, and changes in OUD
medication treatment, including barriers
and enablers of prescribing and
dispensing.
The focus groups will examine the
impact of key aspects of
implementation, such as perceived
burdens associated with Medicaid
enrollment or MAT delivery, access to
referral placements, value of stateprovided TA, and benefits and
unanticipated outcomes experienced by
providers during the Demonstration.

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Medicaid Drug
Use Review (DUR) Program; Use: States
must provide for a review of drug
therapy before each prescription is filled
or delivered to a Medicaid patient. This
review includes screening for potential
drug therapy problems due to
therapeutic duplication, drug-disease
contraindications, drug-drug
interactions, incorrect drug dosage or
duration of drug treatment, drug-allergy
interactions, and clinical abuse/misuse.
Pharmacists must make a reasonable
effort to obtain, record, and maintain
Medicaid patient profiles. These profiles
must reflect at least the patient’s name,
address, telephone number, date of
birth/age, gender, history, e.g., allergies,
drug reactions, list of medications, and
pharmacist’s comments relevant to the
individual’s drug therapy.
The States must conduct RetroDUR
which provides for the ongoing periodic
examination of claims data and other
records in order to identify patterns of
fraud, abuse, inappropriate or medically
unnecessary care. Patterns or trends of
drug therapy problems are identified
and reviewed to determine the need for
intervention activity with pharmacists
and/or physicians. States may conduct
interventions via telephone,
correspondence, or face-to-face contact.
Annual reports are submitted to CMS
for the purposes of monitoring
compliance and evaluating the progress
of States’ DUR programs. The
information submitted by States is
reviewed and results are compiled by
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

CMS in a format intended to provide
information, comparisons, and trends
related to States’ experiences with DUR.
States benefit from the information and
may enhance their programs each year
based on State reported innovative
practices that are compiled by CMS
from the DUR annual reports.
In this 2021 collection of information
request, we revised certain FFS, MCO,
and Abbreviated MCO survey questions.
While a few questions were added to the
surveys to address GAO (U.S.
Government Accountability Office)
recommendations, other aspects of the
survey changes include grammar and
formatting edits. Overall, we are not
revising our currently approved burden
estimates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: This request for an
extension is to complete the following
data collection activities for MIHOPE–K:
(1) A survey with the child’s primary

child’s teacher, (4) a direct assessment
of the caregiver, (5) videotaped
interactions between the caregiver and

child welfare records, and (8) school
records. In addition to collecting these
data, the MIHOPE–K project will
continue to maintain up-to-date consent
forms for the collection of
administrative data. Future information
collection requests and related Federal
Register notices will describe future
data collection efforts for this project.
Data collected during the kindergarten
follow-up study is being used to
estimate the effects of MIECHV-funded
programs on the following seven
domains: (1) Maternal health, (2) child
health, (3) child development and
school performance, (4) child
maltreatment, (5) parenting, (6) crime or
