Abstract: In the FY 2022 IPPS/LTCH PPS final rule, we are finalizing to adopt the Maternal Morbidity Structural Measure beginning with a shortened reporting period from October 1 through December 31, 2021 (affecting the FY 2023 payment determination), followed by annual reporting periods for subsequent years. The shortened data submission period for the Maternal Morbidity Structural Measure would run from October 1 through December 31, 2021, followed by annual reporting periods for subsequent years. We are also finalizing the adoption of the Hybrid Hospital-Wide All-Risk Standardized Mortality measure with Claims and Electronic Health Record Data (Hybrid HWM measure) beginning with a one-year voluntary reporting period (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023), followed by mandatory reporting beginning with the July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 reporting period/FY 2026 payment determination. In this PRA Package, we are requesting approval for an increase in the total burden we expect to be experienced by approximately 4,400 participating hospitals (3,300 IPPS hospitals and 1,100 non-IPPS hospitals), beginning with the FY 2023 payment determination.

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 finalized policy in the FY 2022 IPPS/LTCH PPS final 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. The finalized policy to adopt the Hybrid HWM measure beginning in the CY 2022 reporting period/FY 2024 payment determination results in an increase of 2,933 hours and $120,267.
