Information Collections Up for Public Comment

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published in the Federal Register, Sept. 12, a summary of proposed collection activities and invites public comment.
Subjects on which you may want to comment include:

1. The proposed information collection’s necessity and utility 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

CMS will evaluate the Home Health Pay for Performance Demonstration (HHP4PD), the Medicare Demonstration Ambulatory Care Quality Measure Performance Assessment Tool (PAT), the Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web Enabled Network (CROWNWeb) system, and will also consider revisions to the Medicare enrollment application “… to adjust the burden associated with this information collection request (ICR).”
