The burden increase is a result
of improved methods to approximate the number of annual responses
using the CMS Medicare Beneficiary Database (MBD). The MBD provides
more accurate data than was previously used in 2013. The enrollment
data for the 12-month period of January through December 2016 was
used to determine the annual number of responses. Based on this
more reliable data source, the total number of respondents
increased from 14,000 to 101,000 (an increase of 87,000).
Additionally, the per response time estimate was reduced from 25
minutes to 10 minutes, based on updated processes and efficiencies
at SSA to assist individuals. The form’s PRA Disclosure Statement
was updated to match this per response time estimate. Beginning in
April 2018, the term “Medicare Claim Number” will be replaced with
the term “Medicare number” in response to the MACRA act. The form
CMS 1763 has been updated to reflect this change. The change does
not have an effect on the burden, as the requirements of the form
remain the same.
