Abstract: Section 1881(h) of the Social Security Act, as amended by Section 153(h) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, authorizes the establishment of a quality incentive program for renal dialysis facilities. Beginning in CY 2016, renal dialysis facilities have been required to collect and submit data on quality reporting measures to CMS using Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb); in CY 2018, this will be increased to eight quality reporting measures. Measures are added to the ESRD Quality Incentive Program in order to ensure a measure set that reflects the appropriate level of care and the most important areas of service furnished by renal dialysis facilities. Measure data are intended to be publicly reported.

Short Statement: Our finalized policy to remove these measures from the ESRD QIP measure set would result in a total burden collection savings of approximately $12 million for PY 2021 (a reduction of approximately 300,000 in burden hours). Our finalized policy to add this measure to the ESRD QIP measure set would add approximately $21 million in total burden in CY 2020/PY 2022 (or an increase of 510,000 burden hours).
