Short Statement: Burden for Vendor Completion of CAHPS for MIPS Participation Form Implementation of web administration is estimated to increase the time to complete the vendor participation form from 10 hours to 11 hours. We assume that 10 vendors will apply for CMS approval based on historic applications; 10 vendors x 11 hours = 110 hours, which is an increase of +10 hours to the 100 hours currently approved under OMB control number 0938-1222. Burden for Beneficiary Responses to the CAHPS for MIPS Survey Implementation of web administration is estimated to increase the number of beneficiaries responding per group from 255 to 267. Assuming 100 groups that have registered and have a sufficient beneficiary sample size to conduct the CAHPS for MIPS survey the survey will be administered to 26,700 beneficiaries per year; 26,700 beneficiaries x .2183 hours = 5,829, which is an increase of +262 hours to the 5,567 hours current approved under OMB control number 0938-1222.
