an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to

concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
SUMMARY:
Comments on the collection(s) of
information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by February 9, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 (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 of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Provider
Network Coverage Data Collection; Use:
The Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148) was signed
into law on March 23, 2010. On March
30, 2010, the Health Care and Education
Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–
152) was signed into law. The two laws
are collectively referred to as the
Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA
established competitive private health
insurance markets called Marketplaces,
or Exchanges, which gave millions of
Americans and small businesses access
to affordable, quality insurance options
that meet certain requirements. These
requirements include ensuring
sufficient choice of providers and
providing information to enrollees and
prospective enrollees on the availability
of in-network and out-of-network
providers.
In the final rule, the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act; HHS Notice of
Benefit and Payment Parameters for
2017 (CMS–9937–P), we finalized
network adequacy standards for
qualified health plan (QHP) issuers,
including stand-alone dental plans
(SADPs) mostly focused on issuers in
QHPs in the Federally-facilitated
Exchanges (FFEs). This information
collection notice is for two of the
standards from the rule: one applying in
the FFE and one applying to all QHPs.
Specifically, under 45 CFR 156.230(d)
and 156.230(e), we require notification

requirements for enrollees in cases
where a provider leaves the network
and for cases where an enrollee might
be seen by an out of network ancillary
provider in an in-network setting. These
standards will help inform consumers
about his or her health plan coverage to
better make cost effective choices. The
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) is updating an
information collection request (ICR) in
connection with these standards. The
burden estimates for this ICR included
in this package reflects the additional
time and effort for QHP issuers to
provide these notifications to enrollees.
Form Number: CMS–10594 (OMB
control number 0938–1302); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private
Sector (business or other for-profits, notfor-profit institutions); Number of
Respondents: 374; Number of
Responses: 374; Total Annual Hours:
551,276. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact Nicole Levesque
at nicole.levesque@cms.hhs.gov).
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Third Party
Payment of QHP Premiums and
Additional Notices for QHP Issuers Data
Collection; Use: The Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111–
148) and Health Care and Reconciliation
Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–152),
collectively referred to as PPACA,
established new competitive private
health insurance markets called
Marketplaces, or Exchanges, which gave
millions of Americans and small
businesses access to qualified health
plans (QHPs), including stand-alone
dental plans (SADPs)-private health and
private health and dental insurance
plans that have been certified as
meeting certain standards.
In the final rule, the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, HHS Notice of
Benefit and Payment Parameters for
2017 (CMS–9937–F), we finalized 45
CFR 156.1256, which requires QHP
issuers, in the case of a material plan or
benefit display error included in 45 CFR
155.420(d)(12), to notify their enrollees
of the error and the enrollees’ eligibility
for a special enrollment period (SEP)
within 30 calendar days after the issuer
is informed by an Federally-facilitated
Exchange (FFE) that the error is
corrected, if directed to do so by the
FFE. This requirement provides
notification to QHP enrollees of errors
that may have impacted their QHP
selection and enrollment and any
associated monthly or annual costs, as
well as the availability of an SEP under
155.420(d)(12) for the enrollee to select
a different QHP, if desired. The Centers

for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) is formally submitting this
renewal information collection request
(ICR) to OMB for 3-year approval in
connection with standards regarding
Plan or Display Errors and SEPs. The
portion of the ICR related to Third Party
Payments has been removed. The
burden estimate for the ICR included in
this package reflects the time and effort
for QHP issuers to provide notifications
to enrollees on the ICRs regarding Plan
or Display Errors and SEPs. Form
number: CMS–10595 (OMB control
number: 0938–1301); Frequency:
Annually; Affected Public: Private
Sector (business or other for-profits, notfor-profit institutions); Number of
Respondents: 374; Number of
Responses: 374; Total Burden Hours:
293. (For questions regarding this
collection contact Samantha Nguyen
Kella at 816–426–6339).
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement of a previously
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Initial Request
for State Implemented Moratorium
Form; Use: Congress has enacted section
1866 (j)(7) of the Social Security Act,
which allows for the imposition of
temporary moratorium. CMS
promulgated 42 CFR 424.570 in order to
comply with that statute, which requires
that prior to implementing state
Medicaid moratoria the state Medicaid
agency must notify the Secretary in
writing, including all of the details of
the moratoria, and obtain the Secretary’s
concurrence with the imposition of the
moratoria.
The Initial Request for State Medicaid
Implemented Moratorium, named the
‘‘Initial Request for State Medicaid
Implemented Moratorium’’ has been
created to collect that data, in a uniform
manner, which the states report to CMS
when they request a moratorium.
Currently, CMS is collecting this data on
an ad-hoc basis, however this process
needs to be standardized so that
moratoria decisions are being made
based on the same criteria each time.
The form may be used by states and
territories who wish to impose a
Medicaid or Children’s Health
Insurance Program moratorium. CMS
will use this information as a
standardized method to collect and
track state-imposed moratoria requests.
Form number: CMS–10628 (OMB
control number: 0938–1328); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public: State,
Local, or Tribal Governments; Number
of Respondents: 5; Number of
Responses: 5; Total Burden Hours: 25.

4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Bid Pricing Tool
(BPT) for Medicare Advantage (MA)
Plans and Prescription Drug Plans
(PDP); Use: Medicare Advantage
organizations (MAO) and Prescription
Drug Plans (PDP) are required to submit
an actuarial pricing ‘‘bid’’ for each plan
offered to Medicare beneficiaries for
approval by CMS. The MAOs and PDPs
use the Bid Pricing Tool (BPT) software
to develop their actuarial pricing bid.
The competitive bidding process
defined by the ‘‘The Medicare
Prescription Drug, Improvement, and
Modernization Act’’ (MMA) applies to
both the MA and Part D programs. It is
an annual process that encompasses the
release of the MA rate book in April, the
bid’s that plans submit to CMS in June,
and the release of the Part D and RPPO
benchmarks, which typically occurs in
August. Form number: CMS–10142
(OMB control number: 0938–0944);
Frequency: Annually; Affected Public:
Private Sector, Business or other forprofits, Not-for-profit institutions;
Number of Respondents: 555; Number
