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.
