Abstract:
CMS is requesting PRA approval to collect medical records for 2 demonstrations in order to ensure proper payment of claims. The information required under this collection is requested by Medicare contractors to determine proper payment or if there is a suspicion of fraud. Medicare contractors may request the information from providers or suppliers submitting claims for payment from the Medicare program when data analysis indicates aberrant billing patterns or other information which may present a vulnerability to the Medicare program. For items with a history of aberrant billing patterns this information is requested in advance to determine appropriate payment or if there is a suspicion of fraud.
