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 Social Security Act, which applies to hospitals as defined under section 1886(d)(1)(B) of the Social Security 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 Social Security 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.

Short Statement:
The proposal to adoption of the THA/TKA PRO-PM increases burden by 2,8496,846 hours at a cost of $68,218150,811 through the CY 20310 payment determination. In aggregate, we estimate a total net increase in burden of 7,689 hours at a cost of $194,748 associated with these proposals. We are also updating the wage rate from $46.46/hour to $52.12/hour based on more recent BLS wage data, as previously discussed. This increase of $5.66/hour results in a total increase in burden of $302,67413,253 for the estimated burden hours for the CY 2026 payment determination. For the CY 2024 reporting period/CY 2026 payment determination, based on the finalized policy proposals in the CY 2024 OPPS/ASC final proposed rule with comment period, we estimate a total burden of 53,4765,345 hours and $2,787,207884,511: an increase of 2,3184,187 hours and $410,401507,705 from our currently approved burden estimates. This increase is entirely due to our updated estimate of the number of ASCs that will report measure data from 4,646 ASCs to 4,8095,057 ASCs.
