Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services, HHS. 

In compliance with the requirement 

of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS), Department of Health 

and Human Services, is publishing the 

following summary of proposed 

collections for public comment. 

Interested persons are invited to send 

comments regarding this burden 

estimate or any other aspect of this 

collection of information, including any 

of the following subjects: (1) The 

necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the Agency’s function; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden. 

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: National 

Implementation of Hospital Consumer 

Assessment of Healthcare Providers and 

Systems (HCAHPS); Use: The HCAHPS 

(Hospital Consumer Assessment of 

Healthcare Providers and Systems) 

survey is the first national, 

standardized, publicly reported survey 

of patients’ perspectives of hospital 

care. Also known as the CAHPS ®

Hospital Survey, it is a survey 

instrument and data collection 

methodology for measuring patients’ 

perceptions of their hospital experience. 

While many hospitals have collected 

information on patient satisfaction for 

their own internal use, until HCAHPS 

there was no national standard for 

collecting and publicly reporting 

information about patient experience of 

care that allowed valid comparisons to 

be made across hospitals locally, 

regionally and nationally. 

Publicly reported HCAHPS results are 

based on four consecutive quarters of 

patient surveys. CMS publishes 

participating hospitals’ HCAHPS results 

on the Hospital Compare Web site four 

times a year, with the oldest quarter of 

patient surveys rolling off as the most 

recent quarter rolls on. Three broad 

goals have shaped HCAHPS. First, the 

survey is designed to produce 

comparable data on the patient’s 

perspective on care that allows objective 

and meaningful comparisons between 

hospitals on domains that are important 

to consumers. Second, public reporting 

of the survey results is designed to 

create incentives for hospitals to 

improve their quality of care. Third, 

public reporting serves to enhance 

public accountability in health care by 

increasing the transparency of the 

quality of hospital care provided in 

return for the public investment. With 

these goals in mind, the HCAHPS 

project has taken substantial steps to 

assure that the survey is credible, 

useful, and practical. This methodology 

and the information it generates are 

made available to the public. Form 

Number: CMS–10102 (OMB#: 0938– 

0981); Frequency: Occasionally; 

Affected Public: Private Sector: Business 

or other for-profits and Not-for-profit 

institutions; and Individuals or 

households; Number of Respondents: 

2,483,775; Total Annual Responses: 

2,480,000; Total Annual Hours: 289,342. 

(For policy questions regarding this 

collection, contact William Lehman at 

410–786–1037. For all other issues call 

410–786–1326.) 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Outpatient 

Rehabilitation Provider Cost Report 

utilized by Community Mental Health 

Centers; Use: In accordance with 

sections 1815, 1833 and 1861 of the 

Social Security Act, providers of service 

in the Medicare program are required to 

submit annual information to achieve 

reimbursement for health care services 

rendered to Medicare beneficiaries. In 

addition, 42 CFR 413.20(b) requires that 

cost reports will be required from 

providers on an annual basis. Such cost 

reports are required to be filed with the 

provider’s Fiscal Intermediary (FI)/ 

Medicare Administrative Contractor 

(MAC). 

The FI/MAC uses the cost report not 

only to make settlement with the 

provider for the fiscal period covered by 

the cost report, but also in deciding 

whether to audit the records of the 

provider. Form Number: CMS–2088–92 

(OMB#: 0938–0037); Frequency: Yearly; 

Affected Public: Private Sector: Business 

or other for-profits and Not-for-profit 

institutions; Number of Respondents: 

596; Total Annual Responses: 596; Total 

Annual Hours: 59,600. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection, 

contact Jill Keplinger at 410–786–4550. 

For all other issues call 410–786–1326.) 

3. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Extension without change of a 

currently approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Recognition of 

Payment for New Technology 

Ambulatory Payment Classification 

(APC) Groups under the Outpatient 

Prospective Payment System and 

Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR, Part 

419; Use: In the April 7, 2000 final rule 

first implementing the hospital 

outpatient prospective payment system 

(OPPS), we created a set of New 

Technology ambulatory payment 

classifications (APCs) to pay for certain 

new technology services under the 

OPPS. These APCs are intended to pay 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

2690 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2011 / Notices 

for new technology services that were 

not covered by the transitional passthrough payments provisions authorized 

by the Balanced Budget Refinement Act 

(BBRA) of 1999. Both the New 

Technology APC provision and the 

transitional pass-through provisions 

provide ways for ensuring appropriate 

payment for new technologies for which 

the use and costs are not adequately 

represented in the base year claims data 

on which the outpatient PPS is 

constructed. 

CMS needs to keep pace with 

emerging new technologies and make 

them accessible to Medicare 

beneficiaries in a timely manner. It is 

necessary that we continue to collect 

appropriate information from interested 

parties such as hospitals, medical 

device manufacturers, pharmaceutical 

companies and others that bring to our 

attention specific services that they 

wish us to evaluate for New Technology 

APC payment. We are making no 

changes to the information that we 

collect. The information that we seek to 

continue to collect is necessary to 

determine whether certain new services 

are eligible for payment in New 

Technology APCs, to determine 

appropriate coding and to set an 

appropriate payment rate for the new 

technology service. The intent of these 

provisions is to ensure timely 

beneficiary access to new and 

appropriate technologies. Form Number: 

CMS–10054 (OMB#: 0938–0860); 

Frequency: Annually; Affected Public: 

Private sector business or other forprofits; Number of Respondents: 15; 

Total Annual Responses: 15; Total 

Annual Hours: 180. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Christina Smith Ritter at 410– 

786–4636. For all other issues call 410– 

786–1326.) 

4. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: State Plan 

Preprint for Medicaid Recovery Audit 

Contractors (RACs); Use: Under section 

1902(a)(42)(B)(i) of the Social Security 

Act, States are required to establish 

programs to contract with one or more 

Medicaid RACs for the purpose of 

identifying underpayments and 

recouping overpayments under the State 

plan and any waiver of the State plan 

with respect to all services for which 

payment is made to any entity under 

such plan or waiver. Further, the statute 

requires States to establish programs to 

contract with Medicaid RACs in a 

manner consistent with State law, and 

generally in the same manner as the 

Secretary contracts with Medicare 

RACs. State programs contracted with 

Medicaid RACs are not required to be 

fully operational until after December 

31, 2010. States may submit, to CMS, a 

State Plan Amendment (SPA) attesting 

that they will establish a Medicaid RAC 

program. States have broad discretion 

regarding the Medicaid RAC program 

design and the number of entities with 

which they elect to contract. Many 

States already have experience utilizing 

contingency-fee-based Third Party 

Liability recovery contractors; Form 

Number: CMS–10343 (OMB#: 0938– 

NEW); Frequency: Once; Affected 

Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments; Number of Respondents: 

56; Total Annual Responses: 56; Total 

Annual Hours: 56. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Mary Jo 

Cook at 410–786–3231 or Eva Tetteyfio 

at 410–786–3653. For all other issues 

call 410–786–1326.)
