ICR 201605-0938-013 · OMB 0938-0968 · Historical Active
(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.
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;
