Section 501 of CHIPRA required the
Secretary to work with States, pediatric dentists, and other dental
providers to include, no later than August 4, 2009, 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, and that States
update the information on the dental providers quarterly and the
information on their benefit package annually thereafter. CMS works
closely with the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA),
which administers the IKN website, to implement this provision of
CHIPRA. Collection of data from States commenced in 2009.

The burden was increased by 943
hours (18.5 hr x 51 states). The 18 hr per response increase
consists of: * -2 hours per year due to making three fields in the
provider collection (Services_Mobility; Sedation; and
Services_Intellectual_Disability) optional, because it was
determined that this information is not readily available to
states. * +20 hours per year due to updating provider collection
data validation rules to require States to indicate a Program Type
(Medicaid or CHIP), and to reject submissions where five percent or
more of records are duplicated. * +0.5 hours per year due to
updating the benefits collection to include three new fields,
including two diagnostic services (Oral health screening or
assessment, Assessment of risk for tooth decay), and one treatment
service (Anti-microbial treatments that stop decay from
spreading).
