Abstract: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is requesting approval of revisions to the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility-Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI) Version 4.1 that will be effective on October 1, 2024. On April 7, 2023 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (88 FR 20950) which proposes modifications to the collection of quality reporting data in the Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Quality Reporting Program (IRF QRP). Specifically, CMS proposes to adopt two new measures and remove three measures from the IRF QRP. Per the NPRM, CMS proposes to require IRFs to start collecting assessment data using the IRF-PAI Version 4.2 for IRF patients beginning October 1, 2024.

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

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Although we estimate no change in the amount of time it would take to complete a single IRF PAI 4.2 as compared to the IRF PAI 4.1, the changes in total IRFs and total IRF-PAI assessments will change the burden associated with the IRF-PAI 4.2. Therefore, if the proposals are finalized, the burden would increase from 1,187,475 hours across all IRFs to 1,188,810 hours across all IRFs beginning October 1, 2024 [(1,187,475 – (1,128 IRFs x 2.3 hr decrease/IRF for FY 2025 IRF QRP) =1,184,914)]; [(1,184,914 + (1,128 IRFs x 3.5 hr increase/IRF for FY 2026 IRF QRP) = 1,188,810)].
