CMS-1403-FC The collection of information section for this final rule with comment period contains the discussion of the information collection requirements as it appeared in the CY 2008 PFS proposed rule (73 FR 38502), with updated information included as necessary. In addition, we have included a new discussion of the information collection requirements associated with the Electronic Prescribing (E-Prescribing) Incentive Program, as detailed in section II.O2. of the preamble of this final rule with comment period. A. ICRs Regarding Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility (§410.33) Section 410.33(j) initially proposed that a physician or nonphysician practitioner organization furnishing diagnostic testing services, except diagnostic mammography services, must enroll as an IDTF for each practice location furnishing these services. However, we have removed this requirement and the associated paperwork burden from this final rule with comment period. For mobile units furnishing diagnostic testing services that are not enrolled in the Medicare program to enroll in the program, they must complete a Medicare enrollment application, the CMS-855B, and attachment 2 of the enrollment application. The burden associated with 1012
CMS-1403-FC completing and submitting this application is currently approved under OMB control number 0938-0685 with an expiration date of February 28, 2011. We believe that most of these mobile entities are already enrolled as IDTFs, as required in §410.33(g). However, we have no way to accurately quantify the burden because we cannot estimate the number of this type of requests that we may receive. We did not receive any public comments to assist us in our burden analysis. We also recognize that we will not be able to determine the number of the IDTFs that are billing only under arrangement with a hospital. Therefore, while we acknowledge that there is a burden associated with this provision, we also acknowledge that we have no way to quantify this provision’s burden. For that reason, we are assigning 1 token burden hour to this requirement until such a time that we can conduct an accurate burden analysis for this information collection requirement. B. ICRs Regarding Exception to the Referral Prohibition Related to Compensation Arrangements (§411.357) As discussed in section II.N.1. of the preamble of this final rule with comment period, we are not finalizing the exception for incentive payment and shared savings programs contained in §411.357(x). Consequently, we have 1013
