3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: The
International Classification of Diseases,
10th Revision, Procedure Coding
System (ICD–10–PCS); Use: The HIPAA
Act of 1996 required CMS to adopt
standards for coding systems that are
used for reporting health care
transactions. The Transactions and Code
Sets final rule (65 FR 50312) published
in the Federal Register on August 17,
2000 adopted the International
Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision,
Clinical Modification (ICD–9–CM)
Volumes 1 and 2 for diagnosis codes
and ICD–9–CM Volume 3 for inpatient
hospital services and procedures as
standard code sets for use by covered
entities (health plans, health care
clearinghouses, and those health care
providers who transmit any health
information in electronic form in
connection with a transaction for which
the Secretary has adopted a standard).
ICD–9–CM Volumes 1 and 2, and ICD–
9–CM Volume 3 were already widely
used in administrative transactions
when we promulgated the August 17,
2000 final rule, and we decided that
adopting these existing code sets would
be less disruptive for covered entities
than modified or new code sets.
When a request is submitted in
MEARISTM, the Diagnosis Related
Groups (DRGs) and Coding Team in the
Division of Coding and DRGs (DCDRG)
have instant access to the request and
accompanying materials to facilitate a
more-timely review of the proposed
updates or changes. Upon receipt of a
procedure code request, CMS
immediately acknowledges receipt of
the request and communicates to the
requestor that additional follow up will
occur once an analyst has been
assigned. In addition, CMS provides
information via email communication in
a letter to each requestor outlining the
meeting process. CMS holds standard
pre-meeting conference calls with
requestors to discuss their procedure
code topic request in more detail in
advance of the ICD–10 C&M Committee
Meetings. Also, prior to the committee
meeting, we make the procedure code
topic meeting materials publicly
available, commonly referred to as the
‘‘Agenda packet’’ on our website at:
https://www.cms.gov/medicare/codingbilling/icd-10-codes/icd-10coordination-maintenance-committeematerials. Lastly, once the meeting has
concluded, CMS sends a follow-up
letter to the requestor informing them of

next steps in the process so they can
anticipate what to expect. Form

4. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Triennial
Network Adequacy Review for Medicare
Advantage Organizations and 1876 Cost
Plans; Use: This collection of
information request is authorized under
section 1852(d)(1) of the Social Security
Act which permits an MA organization
to select the providers from which an
enrollee may receive covered benefits,
provided that the MA organization
makes such benefits available and
accessible in the service area with
promptness and in a manner which
assures continuity in the provision of
benefits as defined in §§ 422.112(a)(1)(i)
and 422.114(a)(3)(ii) (under Part 422,
Subpart C—benefits and beneficiary
protections) and §§ 417.414(b) and
417.416(a) and (e) (under Part 417,
Subpart J—Qualifying Conditions for
Medicare Contracts).
The information will be collected by
CMS through HPMS. CMS measures
access to covered services through the
establishment of quantitative standards
for a predefined list of provider and
facility specialty types. These
quantitative standards are collectively
referred to as the network adequacy
criteria. Network adequacy is assessed
at the county level and CMS requires
that organizations contract with a
sufficient number of providers and
facilities to ensure that at least 90
percent of enrollees within a county can
access care within specific travel time
and distance maximums for Large Metro
and Metro county types and that at least
85 percent of enrollees within a county
can access care within specific travel
time and distance maximums for Micro,
Rural and CEAC (Counties with Extreme
Access Considerations county types.

request information beyond the scope of
this public input opportunity. Please do
not use this mailbox to report
suspicions of abuse, neglect, or
exploitation. Any suspected abuse,
neglect or financial exploitation should
be reported to your state’s Adult
Protective Services.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Passed in
2010, the Elder Justice Act establishes
the Elder Justice Coordinating Council
(Council) to coordinate activities related
to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation
across the Federal Government. The
Council is directed by the Office of the
Secretary of Health and Human
Services, and the Secretary serves as the
Chair of the Council. The HHS Secretary
has assigned responsibility for
implementing the Council to the
Administration on Aging (AoA) within
ACL. AoA has long been engaged in
efforts to protect older individuals from
elder abuse including financial
exploitation, physical abuse, neglect,
psychological abuse, and sexual abuse.
The Council is a permanent group,
which meets twice a year, with the goal
of effectively coordinating the Federal
response to elder abuse. The Elder
Justice Act also names the Attorney
General of the U.S. as a permanent
member of the Council. In addition to
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services and the Attorney General, the
statute provides for inclusion as Council
members the heads of each Federal
department, agency, or governmental
entity identified as administering
programs related to abuse, neglect, or
financial exploitation. The Coordinating
Council receives input and support from
an Elder Justice Interagency Working
Group, a group of Federal employees in
Cabinet-level departments and Federal
agencies with expertise in the field of
elder abuse, neglect, and financial
exploitation.
In 2014, the Council adopted ‘‘Eight

Justice Coordinating Council for
Increased Federal Involvement in
Addressing Elder Abuse, Neglect, and
Exploitation.’’ The eight
recommendations represent a focused,
yet balanced, approach for establishing
greater Federal leadership in the area of
elder justice and for improving the
Federal response to elder abuse, neglect,
and exploitation. These
recommendations have served as a
guide for Federal agencies in planning
their elder justice work in the 10 years
since adoption.
Public Input
Through this Request for Information
(RFI), ACL is seeking input from
individuals and organizations regarding
the area(s) and or issue(s) about which
elder justice stakeholders believe the
Elder Justice Coordinating Council can
be the most beneficial to promoting
elder justice and have the greatest
positive impact for survivors of elder
abuse, neglect, and exploitation and
their communities. Specifically, we
would like to hear from respondents: (1)
how the Council can benefit the larger
elder justice community; (2) the areas of
elder justice in which the Council
should focus their attention, and (3) the
activities, tools, resources, or
components that would best help states
and communities create and strengthen
their systems of services and supports in
order to maximize the independence,
well-being, and health of people at risk
for elder abuse, neglect, and
exploitation, their family members, and
their support networks. We also seek
feedback on how the Council can
advance equity, in alignment with
Executive Order 13985 Advancing
Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Communities Through the
Federal Government. In this regard,
please keep in mind the following:
• All submissions will be considered
and reviewed by ACL.
