Section 109(a) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109-432) amended section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act by adding a new subsection (17) that affects the payment rate update applicable to Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) payments for services furnished by hospitals in outpatient settings on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1833(t)(17)(A) of the Social Security Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act, requires that hospitals that fail to report data required for quality measures selected by the Secretary in the form and manner required by the Secretary under section 1833(t)(17)(B) of the Social Security Act will incur a reduction in their annual payment update (APU) factor to the hospital outpatient department fee schedule by 2.0 percentage points.
Hospital OQR Program payment determinations are made based on Hospital OQR Program quality measure data reported and supporting forms submitted by hospitals as specified through rulemaking. To reduce burden, a variety of different data collection mechanisms are employed, with every consideration taken to employ existing data and data collection systems.
The proposed adoption of the FCHE measure would result in a total estimated burden increase of 746 hours at a cost of $41,313 beginning with the CY 2027 payment determination. The proposed adoption of the Screening for SDOH and Screen Positive Rate for SDOH measures would result in a total estimated burden increase of 344,857 hours at a cost of $8,468,591 and 746 hours at a cost of $41,313, respectively, when mandatory reporting begins for the CY 2028 payment determination. The updated average number of cases reported per ASC for the Unplanned Anterior Vitrectomy measure would result in an estimated decrease of 12,279 hours at a cost of $680,011.
Accounting for the impact of the proposals in the CY 2025 OPPS/ASC proposed rule, our updated estimate of the number of ASCs results in an annual burden decrease of 3,901 hours and $216,021. The aggregate from the CY 2027 payment determination increase through the CY 2030 payment determination due to these policies and adjustments is 330,169 hours (-3,901 + 746 + 344,857 + 746 â 12,279) and $7,655,185 (-$216,021 + $41,313 + $8,468,591 + $41,313 - $680,011) as shown in Tables 5 and 6.
