More detailed information can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated materials (see ADDRESSES). [[Page 56086]] CMS-R-240 Prospective Payments for Hospital Outpatient Services CMS-10164 Medicare EDI Enrollment Form and EDI Registration 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: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Prospective Payments for Hospital Outpatient Services; Use: Section 1833(t) of the Act, as added by section 4523 of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (the BBA) requires the Secretary to establish a prospective payment system (PPS) for hospital outpatient services. Successful implementation of an outpatient PPS requires that CMS distinguish facilities or organizations that function as departments of hospitals from those that are freestanding, so that CMS can determine which services should be paid under the OPPS, the clinical laboratory fee schedule, or other payment provisions applicable to services furnished to hospital outpatients. Information from the reports required under sections 413.65(b)(3) and (c) is needed to make these determinations. In addition, section 1866(b)(2) of the Act authorizes hospitals and other providers to impose deductible and coinsurance charges for facility services, but does not allow such charges by facilities or organizations which are not provider-based. Implementation of this provision requires that CMS have information from the required reports, so it can determine which facilities are provider-based. Form Number: CMS-R-240 (OMB control number: 0938-0798); Frequency: Yearly; Affected Public: Private Sector (Business or other for-profits, Not-for-Profit Institutions); Number of Respondents: 750; Total Annual Responses: 13,649,150; Total Annual Hours: 680,920 (For policy questions regarding this collection contact Emily Lipkin at 410-786-3633.) 2. Type of Information Collection Request: Reinstatement of a previously approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Medicare EDI Enrollment Form and EDI Registration; Use: The Congress, recognizing the need to simplify the administration of health care transactions, enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Public Law 104-191, on August 21, 1996. Title II, Subtitle F of this legislation directs the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop unique standards for specified electronic transactions and code sets for those transactions. The purpose of this Subtitle is to improve the Medicare and Medicaid programs in particular and the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care industry in general through the establishment of standards and requirements to facilitate the electronic transmission of certain health information. This Subtitle also requires that the Secretary adopt standards for financial and administrative transactions, and data elements for those transactions to enable health information to be exchanged electronically. The Standards for Electronic Transactions final rule, 45 CFR part 162 Subpart K Sec. 162.1101 through Subpart R Sec. 162.1802, (hereinafter referred to as ``Transactions Rule'') published August 17, 2000 adopted standards for health care transactions and code sets. Subsequent to the Transactions Rule, CMS-0003-P and CMS-0005-P proposed modifications to the adopted standards essential to permit initial implementation of the standards throughout the entire healthcare industry. Currently, Medicare contractors have a process in place to enroll providers for electronic billing and other EDI transactions. In support of the HIPAA Transactions Rule, the purpose of this Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) request is to establish a common form that is sufficient to address all HIPAA transactions. Form Number: CMS-10164 (OMB control number: 0938-0983); Frequency: Hourly; Affected Public: Private Sector (Business or other for-profits, Not-for-Profit Institutions); Number of Respondents: 193,268; Number of Responses: 193,268; Total Annual Hours: 64,423. (For policy questions regarding this collection, contact Matt Klischer at 410-786-7488.) Dated: November 6, 2018. William N. Parham, III, Director, Paperwork Reduction Staff, Office of Strategic Operations and Regulatory Affairs. [FR Doc. 2018-24592 Filed 11-8-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4120-01-P
