Abstract: States are required to submit an annual report on the provision of EPSDT services to CMS pursuant to section 1902(a)(43)(D) of the Social Security Act. These reports provide CMS with data necessary to assess the effectiveness of State EPSDT programs, to determine a state's results in achieving its participation goal, and to respond to inquiries. Respondents are State Medicaid agencies. The data is due April 1 of every year so States need to have the form and instructions as soon as possible in order to report timely.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: In this 2019/2020 iteration, we propose to revise the EPSDT reporting requirements on Form CMS-416: Annual EPSDT Participation Report (EPSDT Report). We are making two changes to the Form CMS-416. A line has been added to the top of the form to give states the option to allow CMS to generate the Form CMS-416 on behalf of states using data from the CMS Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS). This option is available to states who are both current on their T-MSIS submissions to CMS and whose T-MSIS data meets internal data quality standards. In addition, CMS is modifying line 12g to capture preventive dental or oral health services. Corresponding changes have been made to the instructions. We are also proposing to revise the instructions to provide and simplify examples; clarify which lines states do not need to complete as they will be auto-calculated; clarify lines 12a-12g and coding guidance for lines 12f and 12g; and revise the instructions for line 14 to reflect lines 14a and 14b on the Form CMS-416. The new burden estimate for states is 1,512 hours. This reflects the completion and submission of the Form CMS-416 by states as well as CMS generation and state review and verification of the Form CMS-416 for states that opt to have CMS generate the form for them. This is a reduction of 112 hours (1,512 proposed hr - 1,624 active hr) from our active burden estimate for the recordkeeping and reporting. The 112 hour reduction reflects the estimated 20 percent reduction (as explained below) in the reporting burden for states who select to have CMS generate Form CMS-416 on their behalf. Section 2700.4 of the State Medicaid Manual (SMM) contains Form CMS-416, instructions for completion of the form. The reference to the six YouTube training module videos in the instructions has been removed. These videos were available as supplements to the instructions and have been removed as there was not significant state utilization.
