Abstract: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) (Pub. L. 111-5) was enacted on February 17, 2009, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure and improve affordable health care. Expanded use of health information technology (HIT) and certified electronic health record (EHR) technology will improve the quality and value of America's health care. Title IV of Division B of the Recovery Act amends Titles XVIII and XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act) by establishing incentive payments to eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals and critical access hospitals, and Medicare Advantage organizations participating in the Medicare and Medicaid programs that adopt and successfully demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology (CEHRT). These Recovery Act provisions, together with Title XIII of Division A of the Recovery Act, may be cited as the “Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act” or the “HITECH Act.”. Beginning in 2018, the names of the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs were changed to the Medicare and Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Programs. We are collecting information from participants in these programs on objectives and measures focused on the meaningful use of CEHRT in order to incentivize the advanced use of CEHRT to support health information exchange, interoperability, quality measurement, and maximizing clinical effectiveness and efficiencies. In the FY 2021 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we are proposing updates to the Promoting Interoperability Programs to reduce provider burden while maintaining these incentives.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: As discussed, 2021 is the last year for including Medicaid in the burden estimate for this information collection given the Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Program concludes December 31, 2021; therefore, these estimates for 2022 do not include any burden under the Medicaid Promoting Interoperability Program. This programmatic sunset of the Medicaid components is what accounted for the estimated burden hours to reduce from 249,818 to 21,450 hours.
