Pursuant to section 1886(s)(4)(C) of the Social Security Act as added and amended by sections 3401 and 10322 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and further amended by section 4125(c) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, starting in FY 2014 (that is, October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014) and for subsequent fiscal years, IPFs paid under the IPF PPS shall submit pre-defined quality measures to the CMS. Such data shall be submitted in a form and manner, and at a time specified by the Secretary. Section 1886(s)(4)(A) of the Act provides that IPFs that fail to submit data on the selected quality measures and comply with other administrative requirements will have their IPF prospective payment system (PPS) payment updates reduced by 2.0 percentage points.
This is a revision of the currently approved information collection request. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Servicesâ (CMSâ) quality reporting programs promote higher quality, more efficient healthcare for Medicare beneficiaries by collecting and reporting on quality-of-care metrics. This information is made available to consumers, both to empower Medicare beneficiaries and inform decision-making, as well as to incentivize healthcare facilities to make continued improvements.
Specifically, CMS has implemented quality measure reporting programs for multiple settings, including for the Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) setting, to achieve its overarching priorities and initiatives, including the National Quality Strategy and the Meaningful Measure 2.0 Framework. In particular, Meaningful Measures 2.0 promotes innovation and modernization of all aspects of quality to better address health care priorities and gaps, emphasize digital quality measurement, and promote patient perspectives by supporting five interrelated goals: (1) empower consumers to make good health care choices through patient-directed quality measures and public transparency, (2) leverage quality measures to promote health equity and close gaps in care, (3) streamline quality measurement, (4) leverage measures to drive outcome improvement through public reporting and payment programs, and (5) improve quality measure efficiency by transitioning to digital measures and using advanced data analytics.
The information collection requirements for the FY 2014 through FY 2028 program years (that is, data submitted from CY 2013 through CY 2027) are currently approved under OMB control number 0938-1171 (expiration date January 31, 2027). This request covers updates to the data collection requirements beginning with the FY 2026 payment determination (that is data submitted in CY 2025) and subsequent years.
This collection of information request describes changes to the IPFQR Program in association with the FY 2027 IPF PPS proposed rule. Burden adjustments are based on the availability of accurate data and the proposed rule-related changes that reflect removal of two measures (SUB-2/SUB-2a and TOB-3/TOB-3a). CMS estimates a total decrease in burden hours of 465,930 hours (+10,308 - 476,238) and decrease in cost of $26,280,617 (+$605,437 - $26,221,664 - $664,390) due to measure removals, updated number of IPFs and discharges, and updated wage rates.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
