Generic Information Collections
1. Title of Information Collection:
Coverage of Routine Patient Cost for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:01 Mar 28, 2022
Jkt 256001
Items & Services in Qualifying Clinical
Trials; Type of Information Collection
Request: Revised; Use: Section 210 of
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021 amended section 1905(a) of the
Social Security Act (the Act) to add a
new mandatory benefit at 1905(a)(30).
The new benefit mandates coverage of
routine patient services and costs
furnished in connection with
participation by Medicaid beneficiaries
in qualifying clinical trials. Routine
costs for services provided in
connection with participation in a
qualifying clinical trial generally
include any item or service provided to
the individual under the qualifying
clinical trial, including any item or
service provided to prevent, diagnose,
monitor, or treat complications resulting
from participation in the qualified
clinical trial, to the extent that the
provision of such items or services to
the individual would otherwise be
covered under the state plan or waiver.
We propose that States and territories
review the preprints completed for a
Medicaid beneficiary to receive
coverage of routine patient services and
costs furnished in connection with
participation in qualifying clinical
trials. Completion of the preprint pages
verifies in the Medicaid state plan that
the mandatory clinical trials benefit is
being furnished by a state. Completion
of the preprint verifies that the
requirements of a federally sponsored
clinical trial is appropriate for the
Medicaid beneficiary. Form Number:

Act (PPACA), as well as other standards
