National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases; Notice of Closed Meeting, 8436-8437 [2024-02434]

Download as PDF 8436 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 7, 2024 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 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. Information Collection 1. Type of Information Collection Request: New collection of information; Title of Information Collection: Prior Authorization Process and Requirements for Certain Hospital Outpatient Department (OPD) Services; Use: Section 1833(t)(2)(F) of the Act authorizes CMS to develop a method for controlling unnecessary increases in the volume of covered OPD services. CMS believes the increases in volume associated with certain covered OPD services are unnecessary because the data show that the volume of utilization of these OPD service categories far exceeds what would be expected in light of the average rate-of-increase in the number of Medicare beneficiaries. Therefore, CMS is using the authority under section 1833(t)(2)(F) of the Act to require prior authorization for certain covered OPD services as a condition of Medicare payment. The reviews conducted under the program help to reduce unnecessary utilization and payments for these services. The information required for the prior authorization request includes all documentation necessary to show that the service meets applicable Medicare coverage, coding, and payment rules. Trained clinical reviewers at the Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) receive and review the information required for this collection. Review of that documentation is used to determine if the requested services are medically necessary and meet Medicare requirements to help reduce unnecessary increases for these services. Form Number: CMS–10711 (OMB Control Number: 0938–1368); Frequency: Occasionally; Affected Public: Business or other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 11,469; Number of Responses: 564,010; Annual Hours: 316,412. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Yuliya Cook at Yuliya.Cook@cms.hhs.gov) 2. Title of Information Collection: Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency for Qualified Health Plans; Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently approved collection; Use: Implementation of section 1150A of the Social Security Act, as added by section 6005 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), requires, among other entities, Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) and pharmacy benefit VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:17 Feb 06, 2024 Jkt 262001 managers (PBMs) that serve QHP issuers to report information on prescription drug benefits to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). PBMs are third-party administrators of prescription programs for a variety of types of health plans, including QHPs. CMS finalized regulations for this reporting at 45 CFR 156.295 and 184.50. Under these requirements a QHP issuer is required to report issuer and plan level prescription drug data to CMS only when the QHP issuer does not contract with a PBM to administer the prescription drug benefit for their QHPs. Section 1150A(a)(1) of the Social Security Act authorizes CMS to collect the same prescription drug and rebate information from Prescription Drug Plan sponsors of a prescription drug plan and Medicare Advantage organizations offering a Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Plan under part D of title XVIII. Since 2012, CMS has collected these data from Part D sponsors as part of the Medicare Part D Direct and Indirect Remuneration (DIR) reporting requirement, and detailed drug information for each National Drug Code (NDC) from the Prescription Drug Event (PDE) data that plans are required to submit. CMS is requesting to renew this collection of information in connection with submission from QHP issuers that do not contract with a PBM and PBMs (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘submitters’’). The information required from submitters and the process of submission has changed since the previous collection was approved in 2021. The submitters are now required to complete a web form that reports the allocation methodology that is selected by the submitters to allocate data, where necessary. Submitters are required to maintain internal documentation of the allocation methodologies chosen, as CMS may need to follow up with the submitters to better understand the methodology. The burden estimates for the collection of information included in this package reflect the time and effort for submitters to provide prescription drug benefit information to CMS using the Health Information Oversight System (HIOS) module. Form Number: CMS–10725 (OMB control number: 0938–1394); Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: Private Sector, Business or other For-Profits; Number of Respondents: 278; Number of Responses: 278; Total Annual Hours: 1,285. (For questions regarding this PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 collection, contact LeAnn Brodhead at (301) 492–4493.) William N. Parham, III, Director, Division of Information Collections and Regulatory Impacts, Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory Affairs.
