CMS–10765 Review Choice 

Demonstration for Inpatient 

Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Services 

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: New collection (Request for a 

new OMB control number); Title of 

Information Collection: Review Choice 

Demonstration for Inpatient 

Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) Services; 

Use: Section 402(a)(1)(J) of the Social 

Security Amendments of 1967 (42 

U.S.C. 1395b–1(a)(1)(J)) authorizes the 

Secretary to ‘‘develop or demonstrate 

improved methods for the investigation 

and prosecution of fraud in the 

provision of care or services under the 

health programs established by the 

Social Security Act (the Act).’’ Pursuant 

to this authority, the CMS seeks to 

develop and implement a Medicare 

demonstration project, which CMS 

believes will help assist in developing 

improved procedures for the 

identification, investigation, and 

prosecution of Medicare fraud occurring 

among IRFs providing services to 

Medicare beneficiaries. 

This demonstration will assist in 

developing improved procedures for the 

identification, investigation, and 

prosecution of potential Medicare fraud. 

The demonstration will ensure that 

payments for IRF services are 

appropriate through either pre-claim or 

postpayment review, thereby working 

towards the prevention and 

identification of potential fraud, waste, 

and abuse, as well as protecting the 

Medicare Trust Funds from improper 

payments while reducing Medicare 

appeals. CMS proposes implementing 

the demonstration in Alabama, then 

expand to Pennsylvania, Texas, and 

California. After the initial four states, 

CMS will expand the demonstration to 

include the IRFs in any state that bill to 

Medicare Administrative Contractor 

(MAC) jurisdictions JJ, JL, JH, and JE. 

Under this demonstration, CMS 

proposes to offer choices for providers 

to demonstrate their compliance with 

CMS’ IRF policies. Providers in the 

demonstration states may participate in 

either 100 percent pre-claim review, or 

100 percent postpayment review. These 

providers will continue to be subject to 

the selected review method until the 

IRF reaches the target affirmation or 

claim approval rate (90 percent, based 

on a minimum of 10 pre-claim requests 

or claims submitted). Once an IRF 

reaches the target pre-claim review 

affirmation or postpayment review 

claim approval rate, it may choose to be 

relieved from claim reviews under the 

demonstration, except for a spot check 

of five percent of their claims to ensure 

continued compliance. 

The information required under this 

collection is required by Medicare 

contractors to determine proper 

payment or if there is a suspicion of 

fraud. Under the pre-claim review 

choice, IRFs will send the pre-claim 

review request along with all required 

documentation to the Medicare 

contractor for review prior to submitting 

the final claim for payment. If a claim 

is submitted without a pre-claim review 

decision on file, the Medicare contractor 

will request the information from the 

IRF to determine if payment is 

appropriate. For the postpayment 

review option, the Medicare contractor 

will also request the information from 

the IRF provider who submitted the 

claim for payment from the Medicare 

program to determine if payment was 

appropriate. Form Number: CMS–10765

Information Collection Request Title: 

Voluntary Partner Surveys to Implement 

Executive Order 12862 in the Health 

Resources and Services Administration, 

OMB No. 0915–0212—Extension 

Abstract: In response to Executive 

Order 12862, HRSA is proposing to 

conduct voluntary customer surveys of 

its partners to assess strengths and 

weaknesses in program services and 

processes. HRSA partners are typically 

state or local governments, health care 

facilities, health care consortia, health 

care providers, and researchers. HRSA 

is requesting continued approval for a 

generic clearance from OMB to conduct 

the partner surveys. 

Partner surveys to be conducted by 

HRSA might include, for example, mail 

or telephone surveys of grantees to 

determine satisfaction with grant 

processes or technical assistance 

provided by a contractor, or in-class 

evaluation forms completed by 

providers who receive training from 

HRSA grantees, to measure satisfaction 

with the training experience. Results of 

these surveys will be used to plan and 

redirect resources and efforts as needed 

to improve services and processes. 

Focus groups may also be used to gain 

partner input into the design of mail 

and telephone surveys. Focus groups, 

in-class evaluation forms, mail surveys, 

and telephone surveys are expected to 

be the preferred data collection 

methods. 

A generic approval allows HRSA to 

conduct a limited number of partner 

surveys without a full-scale OMB 

review of each survey. If this generic 

received continued approval, 

information on each individual partner 

survey will not be published in the 

Federal Register. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are 

summarized in the table below.
