In the FY 2019 IPPS/LTCH PPS proposed rule, we anticipate the following proposals would impact our previously approved burden estimate: (1) eCQM reporting and submission requirements for the CY 2019 reporting period/FY 2021 payment determination; (2) removal of eight chart-abstracted measures beginning with the CY 2019 reporting period/FY 2021 payment determination; and (3) removal of one chart-abstracted measure beginning with the CY 2020 reporting period/FY 2022 payment determination.
In this PRA Package, we are requesting approval for a decrease 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).
We anticipate no change in burden estimation for the FY 2020 payment determination. For the FY 2021 payment determination, we estimate a decrease in annual burden of 1,117,182 hours and $41 million across all participating IPPS and non-IPPS hospitals associated with our proposed policy changes.
