Under section 1902(a)(30)(A) of the
Social Security Act, we are granted the authority to require that
methods and procedures be established by states relating to the
utilization of, and the payment for, care and services available
under the state plan process (including but not limited to
utilization review plans) as may be necessary to safeguard against
unnecessary utilization of such care and services and to assure
that state payments to providers of Medicaid services are
consistent with efficiency, economy, and quality of care. The
reported data is being collected to safeguard against unnecessary
utilization of such care and services and to assure that state
payments to providers of Medicaid services are consistent with
efficiency, economy, and quality of care. CMS will collect this
data to ensure that VBP programs adopted by states continue to meet
these standards.
This 2020 information
collection request is New and is associated with our June 19, 2020,
proposed rule (CMS-2482-P, RIN 0938-AT82). The rule proposes, as
part of the state plan approval process relative to the VBP
program, new reporting requirements that would affect the 51 state
Medicaid programs (the 50 states and the District of Columbia).
Specifically, a State participating in value-based purchasing
arrangements must report data described in § 447.518(d)(1) and (2)
on an annual basis and no later than 60 days after the end of each
year. The reported data would include: the State name, National
drug code(s) (for drugs covered under the VBP), product FDA list
name, number of prescriptions, cost to the State to administer VBP
(for example: systems changes, tracking evidence or outcomes-based
measures, etc.), and the total savings generated by the
supplemental rebate due to the VBP. The reporting requirements
would be applicable to both FFS and MCO COD claims. In aggregate we
estimate an ongoing annual burden of 306 hours (6 hr/report x
1/year x 51 respondents) at a cost of $36,444.60 (hr x
$119.12/hr).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
