The Medicaid Incentives for Prevention
of Chronic Diseases (MIPCD) program provides grants to states to
implement programs that provide incentives to Medicaid
beneficiaries of all ages who participate in prevention programs
and demonstrate changes in health risk and outcomes, including the
adoption of healthy behaviors. The proposed information collection,
the MIPCD Minimum Data Set (MDS), is intended to collect data for
program performance monitoring and evaluation. The MDS is a
secondary data collection that assembles information already
collected by grantees in the course of tracking beneficiary
participation and outcomes and performing their own evaluation
activities.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
