Proposed Project 

Formative Research to Develop the 

Routine HIV Testing for Emergency 

Medicine Physicians, Prevention Is Care 

(PIC), and Partner Services Social 

Marketing Campaigns—Extension— 

(0920–0775, exp. 4/30/2011), National 

Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, 

STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This project involves formative 

research to inform the development of 

three CDC-sponsored social marketing 

campaigns: Social Marketing Campaign 

to Make HIV Testing a Routine Part of 

Medical Care for Emergency Medicine 

Physicians (Routine HIV Testing), 

Prevention Is Care (PIC), and Partner 

Services (Partner Services). The goal of 

the Routine HIV Testing Campaign is to 

increase HIV testing rates among 

individuals who receive care through 

the emergency department and the 

objective of the campaign is to make 

HIV testing a routine part of care 

provided by emergency medicine 

physicians. PIC entails encouraging 

primary care physicians (PCP) and 

Infectious Disease Specialists who 

deliver care to patients living with HIV 

to screen their HIV patients for HIV 

transmission behaviors and deliver brief 

messages on the importance of 

protecting themselves and others by 

reducing their risky behaviors. The 

long-term objective of the campaign is to 

establish PIC as the standard of care for 

persons living with HIV. The goal of the 

Partner Services component of the PIC 

social marketing campaign is to make 

HIV partner services a routine part of 

medical care. Partner services will 

greatly enhance the detection and early 

referral of individuals with HIV 

infection and will greatly reduce the 

number of new infections. The study 

entails conducting interviews to test 

creative materials with a sample of 

emergency medicine physicians for 

Routine HIV Testing and with PCP and 

Infectious Disease Specialists for PIC 

and Partner Services. Findings from this 

study will be used by CDC and its 

partners to inform current and future 

program activities. 

For Routine HIV Testing, we expect a 

total of 36 physicians to be screened 

annually for eligibility. Of the 36 

physicians who are screened annually, 

we expect that 24 will participate in an 

interview annually. 

For PIC, we expect a total of 81 

physicians to be screened annually for 

eligibility. Of the 81 physicians who are 

screened, we expect that 54 will 

participate in an interview annually. 

For Partner Services, we expect a total 

of 87 physicians to be screened annually 

for eligibility. Of the 87 physicians who 

are screened, we expect that 58 will 

participate in an interview annually. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time.

[Document Identifier: CMS–437] 

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 of currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Psychiatric Unit 

Criteria Work Sheet and Supporting 

Regulations 412.25 and 412.27; Use: 

Certain hospital units are excluded from 

the Medicare Prospective Payment 

System (PPS). The exclusion of units is 

not optional on the part of the provider 

but is required by section 1886(d)(1)(B) 

of the Social Security Act. That section 

excludes psychiatric hospitals, 

rehabilitation hospitals, hospitals whose 

inpatients are predominantly 

individuals under 18 years of age 

(children’s hospitals), and psychiatric 

and rehabilitation units which are a 

distinct part of a hospital. 

CMS proposes to continue the current 

process of performing initial 

verifications and annual reverifications 

to determine that psychiatric units 

continue to comply with the regulatory 

criteria at 42 CFR 412.25 and 42 CFR 

412.27 of the PPS regulations. These 

regulations state the criteria that distinct 

part units must meet for exclusion. 

If, as a result of the regular survey 

process a hospital is certified as a 

psychiatric hospital by the State survey 

agency (SA), then it automatically 

satisfies the regulatory criteria for 

exclusion. Thus, no additional 

verification is required for psychiatric 

hospitals. Some verification is needed, 

however, to ensure that other types of 

hospitals and units meet the criteria for 

exclusion. 

Consequently, CMS instructed the 

Fiscal Intermediaries (FIs) and SAs to 

perform certain verification activities, 

beginning in October 1983 when PPS 

was implemented. CMS originally 

developed the CMS–437 as SA 

Worksheet for verifying exclusions from 

PPS for psychiatric units. 

Since April 9, 1994, PPS-excluded 

psychiatric units already excluded from 

the PPS have met CMS’s annual 

requirement for PPS-exclusion by selfattesting that they remain in compliance 

with the PPS exclusion criteria. Under 

the current procedure, all psychiatric 

units applying for first-time exclusion 

are surveyed by the SAs. The SAs also 

perform surveys to investigate 

complaint allegations and conduct 

annual sample reverification surveys on 

5 percent of all psychiatric units. 

The aforementioned exclusions 

continue to exist and thus CMS 

proposes to continue to use the Criteria 

Worksheet, Forms CMS–437 for 

verifying first-time exclusions from the 

PPS, for complaint surveys, for its 

annual 5 percent validation sample, and 

for facility self-attestation. These forms 

are related to the survey and 

certification and Medicare approval of 

the PPS-excluded units. Form Number: 

CMS–437 (OMB#: 0938–0358);
