Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension of a currently
approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Application for
Participation in the Intravenous
Immune Globulin (IVIG) Demonstration;
Use: Traditional fee-for-service (FFS)
Medicare covers some or all
components of home infusion services
depending on the circumstances. By
special statutory provision, Medicare
Part B covers intravenous immune
globulin (IVIG) for persons with primary
immune deficiency disease (PIDD) who
wish to receive the drug at home.
However, Medicare does not separately
pay for any services or supplies to
administer it if the person is not
homebound and otherwise receiving
services under a Medicare Home Health
episode of care. As a result, many
beneficiaries have chosen to receive the
drug at their doctor’s office or in an
outpatient hospital setting.
On September 29, 2017, the ‘‘Disaster
Tax Relief and Airport and Airway
Extension Act of 2017’’ was enacted into
law. Section 302 of this legislation
extends the Medicare IVIG
Demonstration through December 31,
2020. While existing beneficiaries
enrolled in the demonstration as of
September 30, 2017 will be
automatically re-enrolled, in order to
continue to enroll new beneficiaries into
the demonstration, an application is
required. The original enrollment and
financial limits remain and CMS will
continue to monitor both to assure that
statutory limitations are not exceeded.
This collection of information is for
the application to participate in the
demonstration. Participation is
voluntary and may be terminated by the
beneficiary at any time. Beneficiaries
who do not participate will continue to
be eligible to receive all of the regular
Medicare Part B benefits that they are
would be eligible for in the absence of
the demonstration. Form Number:
CMS–10518 (OMB control number:
0938–1246); Frequency: Annually;
Affected Public: Individuals and
households; Number of Respondents:
1,220; Total Annual Responses: 1,220
Total Annual Hours: 305. (For policy
questions regarding this collection

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: Extension without change of a
currently approved collection; Title of
Information Collection: Generic
Clearance for Questionnaire Testing and
Methodological Research for the
Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey
(MCBS); Use: The purpose of this OMB
clearance package is to extend the
approval of the generic clearance to
support an effort to evaluate the
operations and content of the Medicare
Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS). The
MCBS is a continuous, multipurpose
survey of a nationally representative
sample of aged, disabled, and
institutionalized Medicare beneficiaries.
The MCBS, which is sponsored by the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), is the only
comprehensive source of information on
the health status, health care use and
expenditures, health insurance
coverage, and socioeconomic and
demographic characteristics of the
entire spectrum of Medicare
beneficiaries. The core of the MCBS is
a series of interviews with a stratified
random sample of the Medicare
population, including aged and disabled
enrollees, residing in the community or
in institutions. Questions are asked
about enrollees’ patterns of health care
use, charges, insurance coverage, and
payments over time. Respondents are
asked about their sources of health care
coverage and payment, their
demographic characteristics, their
health and work history, and their
family living circumstances. In addition
to collecting information through the
core questionnaire, the MCBS collects
information on special topics. Form
Number: CMS–10549 (OMB control
number 0938–1275); Frequency:
Occasionally; Affected Public:
Individuals or Households; Number of
Respondents: 1,500; Total Annual
Responses: 1,500; Total Annual Hours:
1,117. (For policy questions regarding
this collection contact William Long at

Medicare and Medicaid Programs:
Approval of an Application From the
Joint Commission (TJC) for Continued
CMS Approval of Its Critical Access
Hospital (CAH) Accreditation Program
Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services, HHS.
ACTION: Final notice.
AGENCY:

This final notice announces
our decision to approve the Joint
Commission (TJC) for continued
recognition as a national accrediting
organization for critical access hospitals
(CAHs) that wish to participate in the
Medicare or Medicaid programs.
DATES: This final notice is effective
November 21, 2017 through November
21, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Monda Shaver, (410) 786–3410, Karena
Meushaw, (410) 786–6609 or Patricia
Chmielewski, (410) 786–6899.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
Under the Medicare program eligible
beneficiaries may receive covered
services in a critical access hospital
(CAH), provided certain requirements
are met. Sections 1820(c)(2)(B) and
1861(mm) of the Social Security Act
(the Act) establish distinct criteria for
facilities seeking designation as a CAH.
The minimum requirements that a CAH
must meet to participate in the Medicare
Program are at 42 CFR part 485, subpart
F. Conditions for Medicare payment for
CAHs are at 42 CFR 413.70. Applicable
regulations concerning provider
agreements are at 42 CFR part 489 and
those pertaining to facility survey and
certification are at 42 CFR part 488,
subparts A and B.
For a CAH to enter into a provider
agreement with the Medicare program, a
CAH must first be certified by a State
survey agency as complying with the
conditions or requirements set forth in
section 1820 of the Act and our
regulations at part 485. Subsequently,
the CAH is subject to ongoing review by
a State survey agency to determine
whether it continues to meet the
Medicare requirements. However, there
is an alternative to State compliance
surveys. Certification by a nationally
recognized accreditation program can
substitute for ongoing State review.
Section 1865(a)(1) of the Act provides
that if the Secretary of the Department
