Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 230 / Friday, December 1, 2023 / Notices 2024 for HOPDs and CY 2025 for ASCs. ASCs will continue with voluntary implementation of the OAS CAHPS Survey throughout CY 2024. HOPDs and ASCs 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 4 quarters. Data from OAS CAHPS 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. Considering the increasing Medicare expenditures for outpatient surgical services from HOPDs and ASCs, the implementation of OAS CAHPS provides CMS with much-needed statistically valid data from the patient perspective to inform quality improvement and comparative consumer information about specific facilities. The information collected in the OAS CAHPS survey will be used for the following purposes: • To provide a source of information from which patient experience of care 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. Form Number: CMS–10500 (OMB control number: 0938–1240); Frequency: Once; Affected Public: Business or other for-profits and Not-for-profits institutions; Number of Respondents: 2,534,643; Total Annual Responses: 2,534,643; Total Annual Hours: 614,976.

Type of Information Collection Request: Revision with change of the previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Collection of Encounter Data from MA Organizations, Section 1876 Cost HMOs/CMPs, MMPs, and PACE Organizations; Use: Section 1853(a)(3)(B) of the Act directs CMS to require MA organizations and eligible organizations with risk-sharing contracts under 1876 to ‘‘submit data regarding inpatient hospital services ... and data regarding other services and other information as the Secretary deems necessary’’ in order to implement a methodology for ‘‘risk adjusting’’ VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:47 Nov 30, 2023 Jkt 262001 payments made to MA organizations and other entities. Risk adjustments to enrollee monthly payments are made in order to take into account ‘‘variations in per capita costs based on [the] health status’’ of the Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in an MA plan. CMS uses encounter data to develop individual risk scores for risk adjusted payment to MA organizations, PACE organizations, and MMPs. Starting with Payment Year (PY) 2016, CMS began to blend risk scores calculated with Risk Adjustment Processing Data and Medicare Fee- For-Service (FFS) data with risk scores calculated with encounter data and FFS data, for risk scores calculated under both the CMS– HCC and the RxHCC models. In PY 2022, we will move to calculating risk scores under both the CMS–HCC and the RxHCC models using 100 percent of the risk score calculated using encounter data and FFS data. All organizations required to submit encounter data use an electronic connection between the organization and CMS to submit encounter data and to receive information in return. CMS collects the data from MA organizations, 1876 Cost Plans, MMPs and PACE organizations in the X12N 837 5010 format for professional, DME, and institutional, and dental services or items provided to MA enrollees.
