The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting public comments on their plan to collect information, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The public has 60 days to comment on the proposed information collection activities, including estimates of the burden and suggestions to improve the quality and clarity of the data collection. CMS is seeking feedback on two main collections: the application for participation in the Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) Demonstration and the collection of encounter data from MA organizations. Comments can be submitted electronically or by regular mail.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) wants people to tell them if they think the way CMS is planning to collect information is good or if it needs to be changed. This helps CMS know if their way is easy to understand and not too hard for people to follow.
