Short Statement:
As a result of the FY 2025 IPPS/LTCH proposed rule proposals for the collection of quality reporting data, the total burden associated with each LCDS submission would increase by 0.015 hours per LCDS, 6.43 hours per LTCH and 2,116.55 hours for all LTCHs. Since the approval of the LCDS V5.1, new information demonstrates a change in both the number of LTCHs and the number of LCDS’s completed per LTCH. The number of LTCHs submitting assessments has decreased from 330 to 329. LTCHs are also submitting approximately 18,038 fewer admission assessments and 17,970 fewer discharge assessments across all LTCHs, resulting in a decrease of 54.82 (18,038 / 329) admission assessments and 54.62 (17,970 / 329) discharge assessments per LTCH. As a result of these changes, we estimate an overall decrease in burden hours for LTCHs. Specifically, the burden hours will decrease by 23,646 hours [211,381 hours – 187,735 hours.
