Abstract: In the FY 2021 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we are not proposing to add or remove any measures from the program. For eCQM reporting, we are proposing to progressively increase the numbers of quarters of eCQM data reported, from one self-selected quarter of data to four quarters of data over a three year period, by requiring hospitals to report two quarters of data for the CY 2021 reporting period/FY 2023 payment determination, three quarters of data for the CY 2022 reporting period/FY 2024 payment determination, and four quarters of data beginning with the CY 2023 reporting period/FY 2025 payment determination and for subsequent years. We are also proposing to streamline validation processes under the Hospital IQR Program by aligning validation processes for chart-abstracted measures and eCQMs. We would do this by aligning hospital selection, including: (i) reducing the pool of hospitals randomly selected for chart-abstracted measure validation; and (ii) integrating and applying targeting criteria for eCQM validation.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We previously requested and received approval for total annual burden estimates under this OMB control number for the CY 2021 reporting period/FY 2023 payment determination of 1,572,443 hours at a total cost of approximately $64.5 million (accounting for updated wage rates) as a result of policies finalized in the FY 2021 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule. The updated wage rate from $38.80/hour to $41.00/hour results in a total increase of approximately $3.5 million. The proposal in the FY 2022 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule to adopt the Maternal Morbidity Structural Measure for the FY 2023 payment determination results in an increase of 367 hours and $15,033 for the CY 2021 reporting period/FY 2023 payment determination.
