(CMS-10152) Data collection for Medicare Beneficiaries Receiving FDG Positron Emission Tomography (PET) for Brain, Cervical, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Small Cell Lung, and All Other Cancers
(CMS-10152) Data collection
for Medicare Beneficiaries Receiving FDG Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) for Brain, Cervical, Ovarian, Pancreatic, Small
Cell Lung, and All Other Cancers
Extension without change of a currently approved collection
This information
collection request is approved as an extension, consistent with
CMS' categorization in ROCIS and discussion in the supporting
statement. However, OMB notes that the burden change for this
collection was erroneously reported in ROCIS as a program change.
In future submissions of all information collection requests, CMS
needs to be mindful to report burden changes associated with
extensions in the adjustment category. Failure to do so can result
in it being sent back to the agency as "improperly submitted." OMB
further notes that CMS states it plans to display the expiration
date associated with this collection. The expiration date and OMB
control number must be displayed on all paper and electronic
versions of the collection.

In the Decision Memo #CAG-00181N
issued on January 27, 2005, CMS determined that the evidence is
sufficient to conclude that for Medicare beneficiaries receiving
FDG positron emission tomography (PET) for brain, cervical,
ovarian, pancreatic, small cell lung, and testicular cancers is
reasonable and necessary only when the provider is participating in
and patients are enrolled in a systematic data collection project.
CMS will consider prospective data collection systems to be
qualified if they provide assurance that specific hypotheses are
addressed and they collect appropriate data elements. The data
collection should include baseline patient characteristics;
indications for the PET scan; PET scan type and characteristics;
FDG PET results; results of all other imaging studies; facility and
provider characteristics; cancer type, grade, and stage; long-term
patient outcomes; disease management changes; and anti-cancer
treatment received.
