Standardized Format

    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

[[Page 88623]]

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: New collection; Title of 
Information Collection: American Dental Association (ADA) Dental Claim 
Form; Use: Medicare has traditionally accepted the Professional (CMS-
1500/837P transaction) and Institutional (UB04/837I transaction) claims 
forms to provide payment for Medicare-covered services. The Centers for 
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) now plans to allow providers to 
submit Medicare-covered dental services on the dental claim form, a 
similar information collection as the already-approved professional and 
institutional claim forms. The ADA Dental Claim Form will be used to 
deliver information from dental providers to CMS for CMS to reimburse 
for provided dental services. Medicare Part B MACs will use the data 
collected on the ADA dental form to determine the proper amount of 
reimbursement for Part B dental services provided to Medicare 
beneficiaries. Submission of information on the ADA Dental Claim Form 
and associated HIPAA-standard 837D transaction format permits Medicare 
Part B MACs to receive consistent data for proper benefit payment. Form 
Number: CMS-10883 (OMB control number: 0938-New); Frequency: 
Occasionally; Affected Public: Private sector, Businesses and other 
for-profits; Number of Respondents: 50,000; Total Annual Responses: 
50,000; Total Annual Hours: 12,500. (For policy questions regarding 
this collection contact Charlene Parks at 410-786-8684.)
    2. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement without 
change of a previously approved collection; Title of Information 
Collection: Indirect Medical Education and Direct Graduate Medical 
Education; Use: Section 1886(d)(5)(B) of the Social Security Act 
requires additional payments to be made under the Medicare Prospective 
Payment System (PPS) for the indirect medical educational costs a 
hospital incurs in connection with interns and residents (IRs) in 
approved teaching programs. In addition, title 42, part 413, sections 
75 through 83 implement section 1886(d) of the Act by establishing the 
methodology for Medicare payment for the costs of direct graduate 
medical educational activities.
    The information collected on IRs is used by Part-A Medicare 
Administrative Contractors (MAC) to verify the number of IRs FTE used 
in the calculation of Medicare payments for IME and GME. The IR data 
submitted by the hospitals to the MACs is uploaded into CMS' Intern and 
Resident Information System (IRIS) database to identify duplicate FTEs 
reported for any IR.
    The MACs use the information collected on IRs to ensure that all 
program payments for IME and GME are accurate and are in accordance 
with Medicare regulations. The IR data submitted by the hospitals to 
the MACs are used to audit the Medicare cost reports filed by the 
hospitals. Form Number: CMS-R-64 (OMB control number: 0938-0456); 
Frequency: Monthly; Affected Public: Private sector and Federal 
Government; Number of Respondents: 1,245; Total Annual Responses: 
1,245; Total Annual Hours: 2,490. (For policy questions regarding this 
collection contact Owen Osaghae at 410-786-7550.)
    3. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension without change 
of a currently approved collection; Title of Information Collection: 
Medication Therapy Management Program Improvements--Standardized 
Format; Use: Section 1860D-4(c)(2)(C)(i) of the Act requires plan 
sponsors to offer MTM services that include an annual CMR with a 
written summary and action plan provided in a standardized format 
developed in consultation with stakeholders. This requirement is 
codified at Sec.  423.153(d)(1)(vii)(D), which requires that the 
standardized action plan and summary comply with requirements specified 
by CMS for the standardized format. Components of the CMR summary in 
Standardized Format should include a cover letter, personalized 
medication list, and action plan if applicable.
    Users include members in a Part D sponsors' plan who are eligible 
are enrolled in the sponsors' MTM program and offered a CMR. The CMR is 
a consultation between the MTM provider (such as a pharmacist) with the 
beneficiary to review their medications. The MTM provider is either an 
employee/contractor of the plan itself or of a downstream entity 
contracted by the plan to provide MTM services. After a CMR is 
performed, the sponsor creates and sends a summary of the CMR to the 
beneficiary that includes a medication action plan and personal 
medication list using the Standardized Format.
    Information collected by Part D MTM programs as required by the 
Standardized Format for the CMR summary is used by beneficiaries or 
their authorized representatives, caregivers, and their healthcare 
providers to improve medication use and achieve better healthcare 
outcomes. Form Number: CMS-10396 (OMB control number: 0938-1154); 
Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector and Business or 
other for-profits; Number of Respondents: 842; Total Annual Responses: 
2,382,774; Total Annual Hours: 1,588,595. (For policy questions 
regarding this collection contact Victoria Dang at 410-786-3991 or 
[email protected].)
