Short Statement: The currently approved burden is 7,224 hours; the proposed burden for the NHCS is 8,232 hours per data collection year; 1,975 hours were subtracted as a result of the removal of several line items (Ambulatory Unit Induction, Pulling and re-filing Patient Records [ED, OPD, and ASL], Annual FSASC Interview, Prepare and transmit UB-04, and Pulling and re-filing Patient Records); 2,983 hours were added as result of the change to monthly data transmission for UB-04 claims as well as increasing the sample to 581 hospitals. This results in a net increase of 1,008 burden hours.
