CMS–10545 Outcome and Assessment 

Information Set OASIS–E 

CMS–10520 Marketplace Quality 

Standards 

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: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Outcome and 

Assessment Information Set OASIS–E; 

Use: This request is for OMB approval 

to modify the Outcome and Assessment 

Information Set (OASIS) that home 

health agencies (HHAs) are required to 

collect in order to participate in the 

Medicare program. The current version 

of the OASIS, OASIS–D (0938–1279) 

data item set was approved by the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) on 

December 6, 2018 and implemented on 

January 1, 2019. We are seeking OMB 

approval for the proposed revised 

OASIS item set, referred to hereafter as 

OASIS–E, scheduled for 

implementation on January 1, 2023. The 

OASIS–E includes changes pursuant to 

the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care 

Transformation Act of 2014 (the 

IMPACT Act); and, to accommodate 

data element removals to reduce 

burden; and improve formatting 

throughout the document. Form 

Number: CMS–10545 (OMB control 

number: 0938–1279); Frequency: 

Occasionally; Affected Public: Private 

Sector (Business or other for-profit and 

Not-for-profit institutions); Number of 

Respondents: 11,354; Total Annual 

Responses: 18,030,766; Total Annual 

Hours: 13,139,904. (For policy questions 

regarding this collection contact Joan 

Proctor at 410–786–0949). 

2. Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a currently 

approved collection; Title of 

Information Collection: Marketplace 

Quality Standards; Use: The Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act 

establishes requirements to support the 

delivery of quality health care coverage 

for health insurance issuers offering 

Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) in 

Exchanges. Section 1311(c)(3) of the 

Patient Protection and Affordable Care 

Act directs the Secretary to develop a 

system to rate QHPs on the basis of 

quality and price and requires 

Exchanges to display this quality rating 

information on their respective 

websites. Section 1311(c)(4) of the 

Patient Protection and Affordable Care 

Act requires the Secretary to develop an 

enrollee satisfaction survey system to 

assess enrollee experience with each 

QHP (with more than 500 enrollees in 

the previous year) offered through an 

Exchange. Section 1311(h) requires 

QHPs to contract with certain hospitals 

that meet specific patient safety and 

health care quality standards. 

This collection of information is 

necessary to provide adequate and 

timely health care quality information 

for consumers, regulators, and 

Exchanges as well as to collect 

information to appropriately monitor 

and provide a process for a survey 

vendor to appeal HHS’ decision to not 

approve a QHP Enrollee Survey vendor 

application. Form Number: CMS–10520

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS) is responsible for 

administering the Medicare and 

Medicaid programs and coordination 

and oversight of private health 

insurance. Administration and oversight 

of these programs involves the 

following: (1) Furnishing information to 

Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, 

health care providers, and the public; 

and (2) maintaining effective 

communications with CMS regional 

offices, state governments, state 

Medicaid agencies, state survey 

agencies, various providers of health 

care, all Medicare contractors that 

process claims and pay bills, National 

Association of Insurance Commissioners 

(NAIC), health insurers, and other 

stakeholders. To implement the various 

statutes on which the programs are 

based, we issue regulations under the 

authority granted to the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services under sections 1102, 1871, 

1902, and related provisions of the 

Social Security Act (the Act) and Public 

Health Service Act. We also issue 

various manuals, memoranda, and 

statements necessary to administer and 

oversee the programs efficiently. 

Section 1871(c) of the Act requires 

that we publish a list of all Medicare 

manual instructions, interpretive rules, 

statements of policy, and guidelines of 

general applicability not issued as 

regulations at least every 3 months in 

the Federal Register. 

II. Format for the Quarterly Issuance 

Notices 

This quarterly notice provides only 

the specific updates that have occurred 

in the 3-month period along with a 

hyperlink to the full listing that is 

available on the CMS website or the 

appropriate data registries that are used 

as our resources. This is the most 

current up-to-date information and will 

be available earlier than we publish our 

quarterly notice. We believe the website 

list provides more timely access for 

beneficiaries, providers, and suppliers. 

We also believe the website offers a 

more convenient tool for the public to 

find the full list of qualified providers
