Short Statement: The overall change in burden from the previously approved package is a decrease of 1,883 total annual burden hours, from 3,218 hours to 1,434 hours. This is because there has been a reduction in the number of CMHCs billing Medicare (from 52 CMHCs in 2015 to 36 CMHCs in 2021), as well as a decrease of clients receiving services at a CMHC (from 5,202 clients in 2015 to 1,475 clients in 2021).
