Application for Hospital Insurance Benefits Medicare for Individuals with End Stage Renal Disease and Supporting Regulations in 42 CFR 406.7 and 406.13
Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection
The form CMS-43 is used to establish entitlement to Hospital Insurance (Part A) and Supplementary Medical Insurance (Part B) by individuals with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
US Code:
42 USC 426-1
Name of Law: Special Provisions Relating to Coverage Under Medicare Program for End Stage Renal Disease
While the number of respondents has not changed, we adjusted the response time from 26 min to 25 min (more specifically, 0.416 hr). Consequently, the total annual response time has been adjusted from 25,990 min to 24,960 min.
The decrease in the burden cost by $14,770.40 results from an increase in printing costs, the hourly rate of pay for SSA employees who process the CMS-43 as well as errors in the cost calculations on the last Supporting Statement provided in 2009.
The burden increases by $2,692 over the last submission because of the increase in printing costs. However, this increase is offset by a decrease of $17,462.40 from the last submission because of errors in the cost calculations. In addition, the hourly rate of payment from the SSA representatives collecting and processing the information has increased by $0.41 from $26.90 per hour to $27.31 per hour.
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;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
