This notice sets out a summary of the 

use and burden associated with the 

following information collections. More 

detailed information can be found in 

each collection’s supporting statement 

and associated materials (see 

ADDRESSES). 

CMS–10500 National Implementation 

of the Outpatient and Ambulatory 

Surgery Consumer Assessment of 

Healthcare Providers and Systems 

(OAS CAHPS) Survey 

CMS–10340 Collection of Encounter 

Data from MA Organizations, 

Section 1876 Cost HMOs/CMPs, 

MMPs, and PACE Organizations 

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: Extension without change of 

the previously approved collection; 

Title of Information Collection: National 

Implementation of the Outpatient and 

Ambulatory Surgery Consumer 

Assessment of Healthcare Providers and 

Systems (OAS CAHPS) Survey; Use: As 

documented in the CY 2022 OPPS/ASC 

Final Rule (86 FR 63863 through 63866), 

OAS CAHPS Survey data will be linked 

to reimbursement beginning with CY 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 230 / Friday, December 1, 2023 / Notices 83947 

2024 for HOPDs and CY 2025 for ASCs. 

ASCs will continue with voluntary 

implementation of the OAS CAHPS 

Survey throughout CY 2024. 

HOPDs and ASCs contract with a 

CMS-approved, independent third-party 

survey vendor to implement the survey 

on their behalf and to submit the OAS 

CAHPS data to CMS. CMS publicly 

reports comparative results from OAS 

CAHPS after each facility has conducted 

data collection for 4 quarters. Data from 

OAS CAHPS enable consumers to make 

more informed decisions when choosing 

an outpatient surgery facility, aid 

facilities in their quality improvement 

efforts, and help CMS monitor the 

performance of outpatient surgery 

facilities. Considering the increasing 

Medicare expenditures for outpatient 

surgical services from HOPDs and ASCs, 

the implementation of OAS CAHPS 

provides CMS with much-needed 

statistically valid data from the patient 

perspective to inform quality 

improvement and comparative 

consumer information about specific 

facilities. The information collected in 

the OAS CAHPS survey will be used for 

the following purposes: 

• To provide a source of information 

from which patient experience of care 

measures can be publicly reported to 

beneficiaries to help them make 

informed decisions for outpatient 

surgery facility selection; 

• To aid facilities with their internal 

quality improvement efforts and 

external benchmarking with other 

facilities; and 

• To provide CMS with information 

for monitoring and public reporting 

purposes. 

Form Number: CMS–10500 (OMB 

control number: 0938–1240); Frequency: 

Once; Affected Public: Business or other 

for-profits and Not-for-profits 

institutions; Number of Respondents: 

2,534,643; Total Annual Responses: 

2,534,643; Total Annual Hours: 614,976.

collection contact Memuna Ifedirah at

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision with change of the 

previously approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Collection of 

Encounter Data from MA Organizations, 

Section 1876 Cost HMOs/CMPs, MMPs, 

and PACE Organizations; Use: Section 

1853(a)(3)(B) of the Act directs CMS to 

require MA organizations and eligible 

organizations with risk-sharing 

contracts under 1876 to ‘‘submit data 

regarding inpatient hospital services ... 

and data regarding other services and 

other information as the Secretary 

deems necessary’’ in order to implement 

a methodology for ‘‘risk adjusting’’ 

payments made to MA organizations 

and other entities. Risk adjustments to 

enrollee monthly payments are made in 

order to take into account ‘‘variations in 

per capita costs based on [the] health 

status’’ of the Medicare beneficiaries 

enrolled in an MA plan. 

CMS uses encounter data to develop 

individual risk scores for risk adjusted 

payment to MA organizations, PACE 

organizations, and MMPs. Starting with 

Payment Year (PY) 2016, CMS began to 

blend risk scores calculated with Risk 

Adjustment Processing Data and 

Medicare Fee- For-Service (FFS) data 

with risk scores calculated with 

encounter data and FFS data, for risk 

scores calculated under both the CMS– 

HCC and the RxHCC models. In PY 

2022, we will move to calculating risk 

scores under both the CMS–HCC and 

the RxHCC models using 100 percent of 

the risk score calculated using 

encounter data and FFS data. 

All organizations required to submit 

encounter data use an electronic 

connection between the organization 

and CMS to submit encounter data and 

to receive information in return. CMS 

collects the data from MA organizations, 

1876 Cost Plans, MMPs and PACE 

organizations in the X12N 837 5010 

format for professional, DME, and 

institutional, and dental services or 

items provided to MA enrollees. Form 

Number: CMS–10340 (OMB control 

number: 0938–1152); Frequency: Daily; 

Affected Public: Private Sector, Business 

or other for-profits and Not-for-profits 

institutions; Number of Respondents: 

284; Total Annual Responses: 

1,467,645,179; Total Annual Hours: 

48,936,279. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact 

Raymond Mierwald at 410 446–5449).
