Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

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) 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 functions; 

(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 without change of a 

currently approved collection. Title of 

Information Collection: Hospice Survey 

and Deficiencies Report Form and 

Supporting Regulations. Use: CMS uses 

the information collected as the basis for 

certification decisions for hospices that 

wish to obtain or retain participation in 

the Medicare and Medicaid programs. 

The information is used by CMS 

regional offices, which have the 

delegated authority to certify Medicare 

facilities for participation, and by State 

Medicaid agencies, which have 

comparable authority under Medicaid. 

The information on the Hospice Survey 

and Deficiencies Report Form is coded 

for entry into the OSCAR system. The 

data is analyzed by the CMS regional 

offices and by the CMS central office 

components for program evaluation and 

monitoring purposes. The information is 

also available to the public upon 

request. Form Number: CMS–643 (OCN 

0938–0379). Frequency: Yearly. Affected 

Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Governments. Number of Respondents: 

3,644. Total Annual Responses: 1,217. 

Total Annual Hours: 1,217. (For policy 

questions regarding this collection 

contact Kim Roche at 410–786–3524. 

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

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Evaluation of 

Patient Satisfaction and Experience of 

Care for Medicare Beneficiaries with 

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): Impact 

of the ESRD Prospective Payment 

System (PPS) and ESRD Quality 

Incentive Program (QIP); Use: The 

Medicare Prescription Drug 

Improvement, and Modernization Act of 

2003 (MMA) required the Secretary of 

HHS to submit to Congress a report 

detailing the elements and features for 

the design and implementation of a 

bundled ESRD PPS, specifying that such 

a system should include the bundling of 

separately billed drugs, clinical 

laboratory tests, and other items ‘‘to 

maximum extent feasible’’. The 

Medicare Improvements for Patients and 

Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) directed 

the Secretary of HHS to implement a 

payment system under which a single 

payment is made to a provider of 

services or a renal dialysis facility for 

renal dialysis services in lieu of any 

other payment. The ESRD PPS combines 

composite rate dialysis services with 

separately billable services under a 

single payment adjusted to reflect 

patient differences in resource needs or 

case-mix. The MIPPA also stipulated the 

development of quality incentives for 

the ESRD program. CMS has established 

the End-Stage Renal Disease Quality 

Incentive Program (ESRD QIP) to 

address this provision of the legislation. 

In order to assess the impact of the 

Final Rule on ESRD beneficiary 

experiences, satisfaction, and health 

outcomes, CMS is requesting OMB 

approval to conduct data collection to 

obtain input on the effect of the Final 

Rule on our ESRD beneficiaries. The 

purposes of this data collection effort 

are to assess beneficiary satisfaction and 

experience of care in terms of access to 

services, quality of care, outcomes, and 

cost. This will be measured through 

telephone surveys with ESRD 

beneficiary and through interviews with 

key stakeholder in the renal health care 

community. The information obtained 

from both the beneficiary respondents 

and key stakeholders will be used both 

to provide an initial reporting of the 

ESRD PPS/QIP’s effects on beneficiary 

satisfaction and experience of care and 

to inform the Centers for Medicare & 

Medicaid Services (CMS) of the impact 

of the ESRD PPS/QIP on patient 

satisfaction and experience of care, 

including unintended consequences, for 

consideration of future modification of 

the programs. 

Form Number: CMS–10425 (OCN: 

0938–New); Frequency: Yearly; Affected 

Public: Individuals. Number of 

Respondents: 2,540. Number of 

Responses: 2,540. Total Annual Hours:

‘‘Understanding Urban Indians’ 

Interactions with ACF Programs and 

Services’’ research study, telephone 

interviews will be conducted with up to 

34 directors of Urban Indian Centers 

around the county, and site visits will 

be made to four urban areas with a high 

percentage of American Indians or 

Alaska Natives within the population: 

Phoenix, AZ; New York City, NY; 

Minneapolis, MN; and Anchorage,

team will utilize a telephone interview

Indians) in these areas. 

The goal of this information collection 

is to assess the challenges and context 

for family self-sufficiency for urban 

Indians and their interaction with 

services and programs offered by ACF. 

The information gathered will help to 

generate recommendations and action 

items for ACF in seeking to better 

understand and meet the needs of the 

urban Indian population.

directors, non-Native service providers, 

Native service providers, and AI/AN
