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.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The overall burden specified in this PRA package (for the CY 2020 ESRD PPS final rule) is higher than the overall burden specified in the previous PRA package (associated with the CY 2019 ESRD PPS final rule). The annual burden hours increased from 3,097,383 to 3,329,109. The following factors are driving this increase: 1. The PRA package associated with the CY 2019 ESRD PPS final rule specified the burden for PY 2021 and PY 2022; the current PRA package (associated with the CY 2020 ESRD PPS final rule) specifies burden for PY 2022 and PY 2023. As noted above, the CY 2019 ESRD PPS final rule finalized the addition of the MedRec reporting measure beginning with the PY 2022 ESRD QIP. The MedRec reporting measure increased burden beginning with the PY 2022 ESRD QIP; this burden was reflected in one of the two payment years covered in the previous PRA package. The current PRA package is first one that accounts for MedRec’s burden across two payment years, rather than one payment year. 2. The current PRA package uses an updated wage estimate for Medical Records and Health Information Technicians. This estimate is higher than the one used in the previous PRA package. 3. The current PRA package uses an updated estimate of the total number of facilities. This estimate is higher than the one used in the previous PRA package. 4. The current PRA package uses an updated estimate of the total number of patients. This estimate is higher than the one used in the previous PRA package.
