Information Collection Request Title: 

Annual Appellant Climate SurveyOffice of Medicare Hearings and 

Appeals (OMHA). 

OMB No.: 0990–0330. 

Abstract: The annual OMHA 

Appellant Climate Survey is a survey of 

Medicare beneficiaries, providers, 

suppliers, or their representatives who 

participated in a hearing before an 

Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) from 

the Office of Medicare Hearings and 

Appeals (OMHA). Appellants 

dissatisfied with the outcome of their 

Level 2 Medicare appeal may request a 

hearing before an OMHA ALJ. The 

Appellant Climate Survey will be used 

to measure appellant satisfaction with 

their OMHA appeals experience, as 

opposed to their satisfaction with a 

specific ruling. 

OMHA was established by the 

Medicare Prescription Drug, 

Improvement, and Modernization Act 

(MMA) of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–173) and 

became operational on July 1, 2005. The 

MMA legislation and implementing 

regulations issued on March 8, 2007 

instituted a number of changes in the 

appeals process. The MMA legislation 

also directed the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services to consider 

the feasibility of conducting hearings 

using telephone or video-teleconference 

(VTC) technologies. In carrying out this 

mandate, OMHA makes use of VTC to 

provide appellants with a vast 

nationwide network of access points for 

hearings close to their homes. The first 

three-year administration cycle of the 

OMHA survey began in FY08 and a 

second three-year cycle began in FY12. 

The survey will continue to be 

conducted annually over a three-year 

period, beginning in FY15. 

Likely Respondents: Survey 

respondents will consist of Medicare 

beneficiaries, providers, suppliers, or 

their representatives who participated 

in a hearing before an OMHA ALJ. 

OMHA will draw a representative, nonredundant sample of appellants whose 

cases have been closed in the last six 

months.
