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. This includes gathering data on the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey, which measures the quality of life and daily functioning of Medicare beneficiaries. Public input is wanted to assess the necessity of this information collection and its potential burden on participants. Comments must be submitted by February 13, 2025, to ensure they are considered before final approval by the Office of Management and Budget.
Simple Explanation
CMS wants to know what people think about their plan to ask for information on Medicare health, but they need help in making sure it's useful and not too hard for people to give.
