Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The total burden for the new Form CMS-1984-14 is estimated to be 517,188 hours and $10,343,760. This is an increase of 111,860 hours and $2,237,200. The changes to the burden are a result of: o On a per respondent basis, revisions to the MCR to facilitate hospice payment reform resulted in an increase in burden of 10 hours. o On a per respondent basis, incorporating the Form CMS-339 into the revised MCR resulted in an increase in burden of 2 hours for this information collection. (However, the overall burden to the provider decreased by 14 hours as a result of eliminating the paper Form CMS-339, for which the burden was estimated at 16 hours.) o The estimated number of respondents increased by 448 (from 2,303 as of June 21, 2010 to 2,751 as of April 4, 2013).
