Abstract:
Section 3005 of the Affordable Care Act authorizes the establishment of a quality reporting program for PPS-exempt cancer hospitals (PCHs). This is an update to the previously approved PCHQR Program PRA submission. We are removing three chart-abstracted quality measures and are requesting a revision of the currently approved collection to reduce the estimated burden. We are revising the wage rate used to calculate burden.

Short Statement:
We are proposing a reduction to a previously approved burden. In the FY 2018 IPPS/LTCH PPS Proposed Rule, we are proposing a revision to the wage rate used to calculate burden for the PCHQR Program. The decrease in the cost from the previous $66 hourly wage rate (wage plus overhead and fringe) to $32.84 hourly wage rate (wage plus overhead and fringe) is a reduction of $604,184 per facility and $6,646,028 for all 11 facilities. We are also proposing the removal of three (3) chart-abstracted measures from the PCHQR Program, which will reduce the information collection burden on the PCHs. The change in the burden is a reduction of approximately 41,538 hours and $1,364,042 annually across all 11 facilities. Finally, while we are also proposing to introduce four (4) measures, these measures are calculated by CMS using data which facilities already provide as part of the claims process and are not anticipated to impose any additional burden on the PCHs.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
