The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting public comments on its proposal to collect information, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This process involves publishing a notice in the Federal Register and seeking feedback on various aspects, such as the estimate of the burden on the public and ways to improve the information collection process. Two types of information collections are highlighted: (1) the extension of the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) Assumption of Responsibilities, which involves peer review activities, and (2) the reinstatement and modification of the Medicare Enrollment Application for Clinics/Group Practices and Other Suppliers. Public comments are due by February 14, 2025, and further details can be found on the CMS PRA website.
Simple Explanation
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) wants to hear what people think about their plan to collect information to help improve healthcare, and they want everyone's feedback by February 14, 2025. They are asking if this information is useful, how they could make the process easier, and if their estimates of how much time this will take people are right.
