Abstract:
Section 1881(h) of the Social Security Act, as amended by Section 153(h) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act, authorizes the establishment of a quality incentive program for renal dialysis facilities. Beginning in CY 2016, renal dialysis facilities have been required to collect and submit data on quality reporting measures to CMS using Consolidated Renal Operations in a Web-Enabled Network (CROWNWeb); in CY 2018, this was increased to eight quality reporting measures. In CY 2020, we launched the End-Stage Renal Disease Quality Reporting System (EQRS), which contains the functionalities of the three legacy ESRD Systems, including CROWNWeb, in one global application, and aims to provide ongoing support to the ESRD user community to foster accurate and timely monthly data submission. The measures required for reporting under the ESRD Quality Incentive Program are designed to reflect the appropriate level of care and the most important areas of service furnished by renal dialysis facilities. Measure data are intended to be publicly reported.

Short Statement:
The annual burden hours specified in this PRA package (for the CY 2025 ESRD PPS proposed rule) for the 3-year OMB approval period decrease from the currently approved PRA package (associated with the CY 2024 ESRD PPS final rule), from 1,848,212 annual burden hours to 959,497 burden hours. That is because the annual burden hours in the currently approved PRA package associated with the CY 2024 ESRD PPS final rule include burden hours for both PY 2026 and PY 2027, reflecting 2.6 million hours in PY 2026 and 2.8 million hours in PY 2027 across all dialysis facilities averaged out over three years. Because the CY 2025 ESRD PPS proposed rule only discusses PY 2027 policies and proposals, this PRA package only reflects the 2.8 million burden hours for PY 2027. Averaged out over the three years, the annual burden hours are 959,497.
