In the FY 2019 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed
rule, we anticipate the following proposals would impact our
previously approved burden estimate: (1) eCQM reporting and
submission requirements for the CY 2019 reporting period/FY 2021
payment determination; (2) removal of eight chart-abstracted
measures beginning with the CY 2019 reporting period/FY 2021
payment determination; and (3) removal of one chart-abstracted
measure beginning with the CY 2020 reporting period/FY 2022 payment
determination. In this PRA Package, we are requesting approval for
a decrease in the total burden we expect to be experienced by
approximately 4,400 participating hospitals (3,300 IPPS hospitals
and 1,100 non-IPPS hospitals).
We anticipate no change in
burden estimation for the FY 2020 payment determination. For the FY
2021 payment determination, we estimate a decrease in annual burden
of 1,117,182 hours and $41 million across all participating IPPS
and non-IPPS hospitals associated with our proposed policy
changes.
