CFR 162.406
CMS–10829 Improper Payment PreTesting and Assessment (IPPTA) Data
Request Form
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 Collections
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved information collection; Title
of Information Collection: National
Provider Identifier (NPI) Application
and Update Form and Supporting Regs
in 45 CFR 142.408, 45 CFR 162.408, 45
CFR 162.406; Use: The adoption by the
Secretary of HHS of the standard unique
health identifier for health care
providers is a requirement of the Health
Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
The unique identifier is to be used on
standard transactions and may be used
for other lawful purposes in the health
care system. The CMS Final Rule
published on January 23, 2004, adopts
the National Provider Identifier (NPI) as
the standard unique health identifier for
health care providers. Health care
providers that are covered entities under
HIPAA must apply for and use NPIs in
standard transactions. Other health care
providers are eligible for NPIs but are
not required by regulation to apply for
them or use them. Health care providers
began applying for NPIs on May 23,
2005.
The National Provider Identifier
Application and Update Form is used
by health care providers to apply for
NPIs and furnish updates to the
information they supplied on their
initial applications. The form is also
used to deactivate their NPIs if
necessary. The original application form
was approved in February 2005 and has
been in use since May 23, 2005. The
form is available on paper or can be
completed via a web-based process.
Health care providers can mail a paper
application, complete the application
via the web-based process via the
National Plan and Provider
Enumeration System (NPPES), or have a
trusted organization submit the
application on their behalf via the
Electronic File Interchange (EFI)
process. The Enumerator uses the
NPPES to process the application and
generate the NPI. NPPES is the Medicare
contractor tasked with issuing NPIs, and
maintaining and storing NPI data. Form

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision of an approved
information collection; Title of
Information Collection: Improper
Payment Pre-Testing and Assessment
(IPPTA) Data Request Form; Use: To
comply with the Payment Integrity
Information Act of 2019 (PIIA), HHS
finalized the IPPTA to prepare State
Exchanges for the measurement of
improper payments of advance
payments of the premium tax credit
(APTC), to test processes and
procedures that support HHS’s review
of determinations of APTC made by
State Exchanges, and to provide a
mechanism for HHS and State
Exchanges to share information that
would aid in developing an efficient
measurement process. The PIIA requires
executive agencies to report on Federal
programs susceptible to significant
improper payments. The APTC program
was identified as a Federal program
susceptible to significant improper
payments. Currently in operation are 19
State Exchanges, which do not use the
Federal platform to perform eligibility
and enrollment determinations. Each
State Exchange was selected to
participate in the IPPTA data collection
for a period of 2 calendar years, which
began in 2024 or will begin in 2025
depending on which group the State
Exchange is assigned. HHS has revised
the approved data request form to
include new instructions and a data
mapping tool to aid State Exchanges in
their understanding and collecting of
necessary data. This collection of data
and data documentation is intended to
allow HHS to test the data elements as
specified in the scenarios provided to
each State Exchange in the pre-testing
and assessment data request form to
enable HHS to comply with the
requirements of the Payment Integrity
Information Act of 2019 (PIIA) and
implementing guidance. Form Number:
CMS–10829 (OMB control number:
0938–1439); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: State, Local, and
Federal Government; Number of
Respondents: 11; Number of Responses:

collection contact Halina DeSantis at

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: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Generic Social
Marketing & Consumer Testing
Research; Use: The purpose of this
submission is to extend the approval of
the generic clearance for a program of
consumer research aimed at a broad
audience of those affected by CMS
programs including Medicare,
Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance
Program (CHIP), and health insurance
exchanges. This program extends
strategic efforts to reach and tailor
communications to beneficiaries,
caregivers, providers, stakeholders, and
any other audiences that would support
the Agency in improving the
functioning of the health care system,
improve patient care and outcomes, and
reduce costs without sacrificing quality
of care. The information collected will
be used to create a streamlined and
proactive process for collection of data
and utilizing the feedback on service
delivery for continuous improvement of
communication activities aimed at
diverse CMS audiences. The generic
clearance will allow rapid response to
inform CMS initiatives using a mixture
of qualitative and quantitative consumer
research strategies (including formative
research studies and methodological
tests) to improve communication with
key CMS audiences. As new
information resources and persuasive
technologies are developed, they can be
tested and evaluated for beneficiary
response to the materials and delivery
