The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a chance for the public to comment on its plan to collect information, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The notice highlights three key areas of information collection: an extension for the In-Center Hemodialysis CAHPS Survey, requirements for Grandfathered Health Plans under the Affordable Care Act, and accommodations for preventive services. Each information collection request has different purposes, affected groups, and estimated annual responses and hours. Public comments are invited on any aspect of these collections, including their necessity and utility for CMS's functions.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) wants people to tell them what they think about their plans to collect some information, like when you fill out a form. They want to make sure this plan is helpful and doesn't take too much time, like using a computer to make things easier.
