The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is giving the public a chance to comment on their plans to collect information, as part of their duties under the Paperwork Reduction Act. They want feedback on the estimated effort required and the usefulness of the information they plan to gather. They're particularly interested in suggestions for improving the data collection process, like using technology to make it easier. People can find specific information about these collections by visiting certain websites or contacting them directly. Various forms related to Medicare enrollment are outlined for public response, showing the number of people expected to participate and how the information will be used.
