Secretary shall work with States,
pediatric dentists, and other dental providers to include on the
Insure Kids Now (IKN) website (http://www.insurekidsnow.gov/) and
hotline (1-877-KIDS-NOW), a current and accurate list of all such
dentists and providers within each State that provide dental
services to children enrolled in the State plan (or waiver) under
Medicaid or the State child health plan (or waiver) under CHIP.
Section 501 also requires the Secretary shall ensure that such a
list is updated at least quarterly and includes a description of
the dental services provided under Medicaid or CHIP, whether the
services are provided through a state plan or a waiver. The
Secretary shall also post on the IKN website State specific
information on available dental benefits. CMS works closely with
the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), which
administers the IKN website, to implement this provision of CHIPRA.
The collection commenced in 2009.

***Dental Provider Data
Collection*** Concerning the dental provider data collection, we
estimated a total increased burden to states of 36 hours per year
(9 hours per quarter) to populate the five new fields in the
provider record, to populate the Program Name field which is no
longer optional, and to interface with the Program Name/Plan Name
validation function, including correcting any errors. We also
estimated a one-time increased burden of 0.5 hours to place column
headers on all fields and a one-time increased burden of 0.5 hours
to reconfigure the IKN Client Tool (only for states that have an
out-dated version of the Tool). This is a total increased burden of
37 hours per year from these changes. We also estimated a reduction
in burden of 2.25 hours per quarter (or 9 hours annually) due to
new features that assist with efficiently managing data and
accounts. The net increased burden to states for the dental
provider data collection is 28 hours annually (7 hours per quarter)
or 1,428 hours (aggregate). The adjusted burden is 9,588 hr (8,160
hr in 2011 + 1,428 hr in 2014). ***Dental Benefit Information Data
Collection*** Concerning the dental benefit information data
collection, we estimated a 5.5 hour reduction (-280.5 hr aggregate)
in the annual burden due to the new electronic forms and
submission. The adjusted burden is 1,249.5 hr (1,530 hr in 2011 -
280.5 hr in 2014).
