These collections are required because
they will allow States to know when provider payment penalty is
warranted as a result of a provider preventable condition (PPC).
The collection will also allow CMS to ensure that States are not
making payments to providers for PPCs. In CMS-2400-F (published
June 1, 2011), section 438.6(f)(2) will require States which
provide medical assistance using a managed care delivery system to
modify their managed care contracts to reflect the PPCs payment
adjustment policies as applied through these regulations. Section
447.26(c)(1) will require States to submit SPAs for CMS approval
that would reduce payments to providers by amounts related to PPCs.
The burden associated with this requirement will be the time and
effort necessary for a State to submit its SPA and an associated
pre-print. Section 447.26(c)(2) will also require States to
implement provider reporting requirements to ensure that PPCs are
identified in claims for Medicaid payment.
