Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
As a result of the FY 2026 IPPS/LTCH proposed rule proposed the collection of quality reporting data, the total burden associated with each LCDS submission will decrease by 0.025 hours per LCDS, 8 hours per LTCH and 2,634 hours for all LTCHs. We estimate a decrease in the amount of time it will take to complete a single LCDS Version 5.3 as compared to the previously approved package. If finalized, the burden will decrease from 86 minutes to 84.5 minutes beginning October 1, 2026. Since the approval of the LCDS V5.2, The number of LTCHs submitting assessments has not changed and remains at 330. LTCHs are submitting approximately 130,050 admission assessments, and 6,503 expired assessments. As a result of these changes, we estimate an overall decrease in burden hours for LTCHs. Specifically, the burden hours will decrease by 2,634 hours [187,735 hours – 185,101 hours].
