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: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: 

Medicare Health Outcomes Survey 

(HOS); Use: CMS has a responsibility to 

its Medicare beneficiaries to require that 

care provided by managed care 

organizations under contract to CMS is 

of high quality. One way of ensuring 

high quality care in Medicare Managed 

Care Organizations (MCOs), or more 

commonly referred to as Medicare 

Advantage Organizations (MAOs), is 

through the development of 

standardized, uniform performance 

measures to enable CMS to gather the 

data needed to evaluate the care 

provided to Medicare beneficiaries. The 

goal of the Medicare Health Outcome 

Survey (HOS) program is to gather valid, 

reliable, clinically meaningful health 

status data in Medicare managed care 

for use in quality improvement 

activities, plan accountability, public 

reporting, and improving health. All 

managed care plans with Medicare 

Advantage (MA) contracts must 

participate. CMS, in collaboration with 

the National Committee for Quality 

Assurance (NCQA), launched the 

Medicare HOS as part of the 

Effectiveness of Care component of the 

former Health Plan Employer Data and 

Information Set, now known as the 

Healthcare Effectiveness Data and 

Information Set (HEDIS®). 

The HOS measure was developed 

under the guidance of a technical expert 

panel comprised of individuals with 

specific expertise in the health care 

industry and outcomes measurement. 

The measure includes the most recent 

advances in summarizing physical and 

mental health outcomes results and 

appropriate risk adjustment techniques. 

In addition to health outcomes 

measures, the HOS is used to collect the 

Management of Urinary Incontinence in

Older Adults, Physical Activity in Older 

Adults, Fall Risk Management, and 

Osteoporosis Testing in Older Women 

HEDIS® measures. The collection of 

Medicare HOS is necessary to hold 

Medicare managed care contractors 

accountable for the quality of care they 

are delivering. This reporting 

requirement allows CMS to obtain the 

information necessary for proper 

oversight of the Medicare Advantage 

program. 

The 60-day Federal Register notice 

published on April 27, 2012, (77 FR 

25181). Subsequently, the HOS 

Questionnaire collection instrument has 

been revised by clarifying, removing 

and renumbering a few questions. The 

burden estimate has not changed. Form

Public: Individuals and households;

1. Type of Information Collection 

Request: New collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Minimum Data 

Set for Medicaid Incentives for 

Prevention of Chronic Diseases Program 

Grantees; Use: The Medicaid Incentives 

for Prevention of Chronic Diseases 

(MIPCD), demonstration program 

provides grants to states to implement 

programs that provide incentives to 

Medicaid beneficiaries of all ages who 

participate in prevention programs and 

demonstrate changes in health risk and 

outcomes, including the adoption of 

healthy behaviors. The prevention 

programs address at least one of the 

following prevention goals: tobacco 

cessation, controlling or reducing 

weight, lowering cholesterol, lowering 

blood pressure, and avoiding the onset 

of diabetes or in the case of a diabetic, 

improving the management of the 

condition. The programs are also

The proposed information collection, 

the MIPCD Minimum Data Set (MDS), is 

intended to collect data for program 

performance monitoring and evaluation. 

The MDS is a secondary data collection 

that assembles information already 

collected by grantees in the course of 

tracking beneficiary participation and 

outcomes and performing their own 

evaluation activities. Data collected 

through the MDS will be used to report 

on program implementation and
