Review; Comment Request
AGENCY

ACTION
: Notice.
SUMMARY
: The Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on CMS’ intention to collect
information from the public. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information, and to allow
a second opportunity for public
comment on the notice. Interested
persons are invited to send comments
regarding the burden estimate or any
other aspect of this collection of
information, including the necessity and
utility of the proposed information
collection for the proper performance of
the agency’s functions, the accuracy of
the estimated burden, ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
DATES
: Comments on the collection(s) of
information must be received by the
OMB desk officer by October 26, 2020.
ADDRESSES

recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (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 (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-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 that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement with change of a
previously approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: 1915(c) Home
and Community Based Services (HCBS)
Waiver Application; Use: We will use
the web-based application to review and
adjudicate individual waiver actions.
The web-based application will also be
used by states to submit and revise their
waiver requests. Form Number: CMS–
8003 (OMB control number 0938–0449);
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public:
State, Local, or Tribal Governments;
Number of Respondents: 47; Total
Annual Responses: 71; Total Annual
Hours: 6,005. (For policy questions
regarding this collection contact Kathy
Poisal at 410–786–5940.)
2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision with change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: QIC
Demonstration Evaluation Contractor
(QDEC): Analyze Medicare Appeals to
Conduct Formal Discussions and
Reopenings with DME Suppliers and
Part A Providers; Use: The Formal
Telephone Discussion Demonstration
and Reopenings Process is authorized
under Section 402(a)(1)(F), U.S.C. 1395–
1(a)(1)(F), of the Social Security
Amendments of 1967. Primary and
secondary data are needed to
understand the effectiveness of the
Demonstration in improving DME
suppliers’ and Part A providers’
understanding of claims denial during
Level 2 of the appeals process and
facilitating more accurate claim
submission over time. Primary data are
necessary to determine, from the
perspective of participating DME
suppliers and Part A providers, the
quality of the formal telephone
discussions, satisfaction with the formal
telephone discussion process, and the
effect of the formal telephone
discussions on submitting accurate
claims. These data will inform an
evaluation of the demonstration’s
effectiveness in achieving more accurate
claims submissions, and thus reducing
the number of claims CMS must process
each year.
All information collected through the
evaluation of the Formal Telephone
Demonstration and Reopenings Process
will be used by CMS through the QDEC
(IMPAQ International and its partner,
Palmetto GBA) to conduct analyses of
satisfaction with the formal telephone
discussions, and determine whether
further engagement with the QIC
improves understanding of the reasons
for claim denials.
CMS will use the results of the
evaluation to make informed policy
decisions regarding the effectiveness of
this demonstration and whether or not
the demonstration should become a
permanent part of the appeals process.
Ultimately, if the information shows
that DME suppliers and Part A
providers were able to submit more
accurate claims on the first pass, and a
reduced number of claims are put
through the appeals process, the Federal
government could realize cost savings.
Form Number: CMS–10633 (OMB
control number: 0938–1348); Frequency:
Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector,
Business or other for-profits; Number of
Respondents: 5,288; Total Annual
Responses: 5,288; Total Annual Hours:
950. (For policy questions regarding this
collection contact Lynnsie G. Kelley at
410–786–1155.)
3. Type of Information Collection
Request: Reinstatement without change
of a previously approved collection;
Title of Information Collection:

Payment of Power Mobility Devices,
