Abstract: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services collects quality performance measures in order to hold the Medicare managed care industry accountable for the care being delivered, to enable quality improvement, and to provide quality information to Medicare beneficiaries in order to promote an informed choice. It is critical to CMS's mission that we collect and disseminate information that can be used to help beneficiaries choose among health plans, contribute to improved quality of care through identification of improvement opportunities, and assist CMS in carrying out its oversight and purchasing responsibilities.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Over the past five years the overall baseline response rate has fallen short of the 70% target. This is not saying that all plan by plan baseline response rates were below 70%, but that as a whole the overall baseline response rate has fallen below 70% consistently over the past five years. Drastically increasing respondent burden has adverse implications to future response rates so adjustments to the sampling methodology were developed to moderately increase the number of responses where appropriate and eliminate the burden where prudent.
