CMS–R–263 On-Site Inspection for
Durable Medical Equipment (DME)
Supplier Location and Supporting
Regulations in 42 CFR, Section 424.57
Under the 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
requires Federal agencies to publish a
60-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.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: On-Site
Inspection for Durable Medical
Equipment (DME) Supplier Location
and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR,
Section 424.57; Use: CMS is mandated
to identify and implement measures to
prevent fraud and abuse in the Medicare
program. To meet this challenge, CMS
has moved forward to improve the
quality of the process for enrolling
suppliers into the Medicare program by
establishing a uniform application for
enumerating suppliers of durable
medical equipment, prosthetics,
orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS).
Implementation of enhanced procedures
for verifying the enrollment information
has also improved the enrollment
process. As part of this process,
verification of compliance with supplier
standards is necessary. The site
investigation form has been used in the
past to aid the Medicare contractor (the
National Supplier Clearinghouse and/or
its subcontractors) in verifying
compliance with the required supplier
standards found in 42 CFR 424.57(c).
The primary function of the site
investigation form is to provide a
standardized, uniform tool to gather
information from a DMEPOS supplier
that tells us whether it meets certain
qualifications to be a DMEPOS supplier
(as found in 42 CFR 424.57(c)) and
where it practices or renders its

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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: 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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.
