Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 122 / Tuesday, June 25, 2024 / Notices
with input from local and state overdose
prevention and response programs, the
CDC defined a substance use disorder
cascade of care (CoC) and a set of
minimum standard measures to assess
local LTC efforts. The overarching goal
of this initiative hinges on generating
actionable data that jurisdictions can
leverage to enhance and fine-tune their
linkage to and retention in care
programs. Linkage to and Retention in
Care surveillance will also foster a
robust foundation for deriving insights
into disparities, unmet needs, and
optimal practices across the CoC.
This approach will help standardize
data processes to drive data-to-action
decision making and improve intrajurisdictional comparisons over time to
drive better health outcomes.
Ultimately, a standardized approach
ensures that a greater number of
individuals access the care they require
and drives meaningful change in how
individuals are connected to care. CDC
requests OMB approval for an estimated
240 annual burden hours for this
collection. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.

Information Collection: Home Health
Change of Care Notice; Use: The
purpose of the Home Health Change of
Care Notice (HHCCN) is to notify
original Medicare beneficiaries
receiving home health care benefits of
plan of care changes. Consistent with
the Medicare Conditions of
Participation (COPs) for home health
agencies (HHAs) and the decision of the
US Court of Appeals 2nd Circuit
decision in Lutwin v. Thompson, HHAs
must provide the HHCCN to a
beneficiary whenever they reduce or
terminate that beneficiary’s home health
services due to physician/provider
orders or limitation of the HHA in
providing the specific service.
Notification is required for covered and
non-covered services listed in the plan
of care (POC). Implementing regulations
are found at 42 CFR 484.10(c). These
requirements are fulfilled by the
HHCCN.
Home health agencies (HHAs) are
required to provide written notice to
Original Medicare beneficiaries under
various circumstances involving the
reduction or termination of items and/
or services consistent with Home Health
Agencies Conditions of Participation
(COPs). The beneficiary will use the
information provided to decide whether
or not to pursue alternative options to
continue receiving the care noted on the
HHCCN. Form Numbers: CMS–10280
