Terms of Clearance:
If and when the COVID-19 vaccination quality measures become topped out, CMS commits to publicly communicating that the measures are topped out and why they may choose to keep them regardless of the topped out status. If the measures are removed, CMS will move the associated burden, should there continue to be overlap in the CoPs. CMS will work with its OIRA desk officer to determine the appropriate mechanism at that time.

Abstract:
Section 109(a) of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (TRHCA) (Pub. L. 109-432) amended section 1833(t) of the Social Security Act by adding a new subsection (17) that affects the payment rate update applicable to Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) payments for services furnished by hospitals in outpatient settings on or after January 1, 2009. Section 1833(t)(17)(A) of the Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Act, requires that hospitals that fail to report data required for quality measures selected by the Secretary in the form and manner required by the Secretary under section 1833(t)(17)(B) of the Act will incur a reduction in their annual payment update (APU) factor to the hospital outpatient department fee schedule by 2.0 percentage points. Hospital OQR Program payment determinations are made based on Hospital OQR Program quality measure data reported and supporting forms submitted by hospitals as specified through rulemaking. To reduce burden, a variety of different data collection mechanisms are employed, with every consideration taken to employ existing data and data collection systems.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The changes in burden discussed below include updating the wage rate from $38.80/hour to $42.40/hour based on more recent BLS wage data, as previously discussed. Combined with our updated assumption of the average number of cases required for chart abstracted measures from 947 to 289, the policy to remove the Fibrinolytic Therapy Received Within 30 Minutes (OP-2) and Median Time to Transfer to Another Facility for Acute Coronary Intervention (OP-3) measures effective with the CY 2023 reporting period result in a total decrease in annual burden of 513,480 hours at a cost of $21,771,552 (513,480 x $42.40/hour). Combined with our updated assumption of the average number of cases required for web-based measures from 384 to 242, the policy to require the Cataracts: Improvement in Patient’s Visual Function within 90 Days Following Cataract Surgery measure (OP-31), beginning with the CY 2023 reporting period/CY 2025 payment determination will result in a total increase in burden of 32,931 hours at a cost of $1,396,274 (32,931 x $42.40/hour) due to the additional 80 percent of hospitals that will be required to report this measure. The policy to adopt the STEMI eCQM, with voluntary reporting beginning with the CY 2023 reporting period and mandatory reporting beginning with CY 2024 reporting period/CY 2026 payment determination will result in a total increase of 2,200 hours at a cost of $93,280 (2,200 hours x $42.40) for the CY 2029 payment determination. As shown in Table 2, for the FY 2025 payment determination, we estimate an increase in burden of 110 hours at a cost of $4,664 (110 hours x $42.40/hour). In aggregate, for the CY 2027 payment determination, we estimate the updated assumptions and policies finalized in the CY 2022 OPPS/ASC final rule will result in a total decrease of 479,449 hours (-513,480 + 32,931 + 1,100) at a cost of +$20,328,638 (479,449 x $42.40/hour) across 3,300 hospitals.
