The Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (IDTF) - Site Investigation form was developed and implemented to allow for CMS to have a standard format to collect and verify information regarding the compliance of independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs) with the performance standards found in 42 CFR 410.33(g). CMS is now seeking re-instatement of the use of this form.

The last burden estimate was based on 2,700 respondents in a three year period with a three year total burden hours of 5,400. This was calculated at an hour amount per application (two hours per application). Based on these numbers, there is an annual decrease in respondents of 173 (from 900 to 727). CMS believes this decrease is due to less IDTFs entering the Medicare program. Similarly, there is an annual decrease in burden hours of 346 (from 1,800 hours to 1,454 hours). Over a three year period, the hour burden has decreased by 1,038 hours (from 5,400 to 4,362 hours).
