INFORMATION COLLECTION
REQUIREMENTS IN 42 CFR, PART 405, CONDITIONS OF PARTICIPATION FOR
REHABILITIATION AGENCIES AND CONDITIONS FOR COVERAGE FOR PHYSICAL
THERAPISTS. ...
Approved for use
through 10/93 under the condition that the next submission for OMB
review presents a revised burden estimate incorporating burden
imposed by Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
(CARF) requirements. Pursuant to OMB's request, HHS promulgated
final rules reducing burdensome contractual requirements. However,
HHS continued to impose patient record requirements for non
Medicare patients, contrary to public comment. I addition, HHS
estimates that 194 programs participate in CARF, while 1, 337
clinics are affected by these Medicare requirements. It is unclear
how "programs" relate to "clinics", but these statistics seem to
indicate that voluntary compliance may be low. For these reasons,
OMB believes that HHS must take responsibility for this burden and
monitor it on an ongoing basis.
