Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act
The forms are revised in
accordance with the End-Stage Renal Disease Prospective Payment
System Final Rule published August 12, 2010 which implemented
statutory requirements of the Medicare Improvements for Patients
and Providers Act (MIPPA), enacted July 15, 2008. Additionally, the
forms are revised to incorporate data previously reported on the
Provider Cost Report Reimbursement Questionnaire, Form CMS-339. o
On a per respondent basis, revisions to the MCR to implement ESRD
PPS resulted in an increase in burden of 10 hours. o On a per
respondent basis, incorporating the Form CMS-339 into the revised
MCR resulted in an increase in burden of 5 hours for this
information collection. (However, the overall burden to the
provider decreased by 11 hours as a result of eliminating the paper
Form CMS-339, for which the burden was estimated at 16 hours.) o
The estimated number of respondents increased by 146 (from 5,508 as
of 03/15/2010 to 5,654 as of 03/04/2011).
