Abstract:
Section 413.65(b)(3) states that a provider which is seeking a determination of provider-based status for a facility not located on the provider's campus must submit an attestation of compliance with applicable provider-based requirements and must supply documentation supporting its attestation at the time the attestation is made. Section 413.65(a)(1)(ii) establishes a listing of specific facilities for which determinations for provider-based status for payment purposes are not made. services. . In addition, section 1866(b)(2) of the Act authorizes hospitals and other providers to impose deductible and coinsurance charges for facility services, but does not allow such charges by facilities or organizations which are not provider-based. Implementation of this provision requires that CMS have information from the required reports, so it can determine which facilities are provider-based. Section 6225 of the CAA requires that, as a condition of receiving payment under the OPPS as of January 1, 2028, an off-campus department of a provider obtain and bill under a separate NPI and that the main provider must submit a provider-based status attestation that the off-campus outpatient department is compliant with the requirements for such departments.

Short Statement:
For provider attestations, the estimated number of responses has increased due to the section 6225 of the CAA requirement for main providers to submit attestations for off-campus provider-based departments. As such, the number of attestations has increased from 250 to 16,488 annually. However, due to the electronic standardized submission format being developed for the attestations, we estimate a decrease in the number of hours per response from 10 to 5. Overall, we estimate an increase in the total burden for provider attestation, primarily due to the increased number of responses. Previously approved hourly burden (775,545) and number of responses (15,510,900) previously approved were incorrectly calculated/approved and are being corrected during this PRA process. Burden (682,420) should have remained the same for the previously 2024 submission and is being increased for this PRA process.
