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).
