1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently

Medicaid Statistical Information System
(T–MSIS); Use: The data reported in T–
MSIS are used by federal, state, and
local officials, as well as by private
researchers and corporations to monitor
past and projected future trends in the
Medicaid program. The data provide the
only national level information
available on enrollees, beneficiaries, and
expenditures. It also provides the only
national level information available on
Medicaid utilization. The information is
the basis for analyses and for cost
savings estimates for the Department’s
cost sharing legislative initiatives to
Congress. The collected data are also
crucial to our actuarial forecasts. Form

State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
Number of Respondents: 54; Total
Annual Responses: 684; Total Annual
Hours: 6,480. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Connie

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently

sets to version 1.17.2. The changes in
this version will allow State Medicaid
Agencies to collect Patient Driven

and thereby inform their future payment
models. Calculation of the PDPM

set changes do not reflect any change in
burden from the previous version, MDS
3.0 v1.17.1.
CMS uses the MDS 3.0 PPS Item Set
to collect the data used to reimburse
skilled nursing facilities for SNF-level
care furnished to Medicare beneficiaries
and to collect information for quality
measures and standardized patient
assessment data under the SNF QRP.
