Approved for use
through 10/93 under the condition that HCFA revises this proposal
to: 1) specify a sampling design adequate to evaluate the
feasibility of the CNO models. Such a design should include contro
groups and enough sites to evaluate different reimbursement methods
and account for differences in beneficiary utilization of optional
services and structural and process characteristics of the bidding
organizations; and 2) require an outcome evaluation and ensure that
th initial sampling methodology would adequately support such an
evaluation. HCFA must submit this revised proposal to OMB no later
than 5/92. In addition, HHS must revise its Report to Congress to
reflect this new demonstration strategy.
