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).
