Abstract: Section 3005 of the Affordable Care Act authorizes the establishment of a quality reporting program for PPS-exempt cancer hospitals (PCHs). This is an update to the previously approved PCHQR Program PRA submission. We are removing three chart-abstracted quality measures and are requesting a revision of the currently approved collection to reduce the estimated burden. We are revising the wage rate used to calculate burden.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: We are removing three (3) chart-abstracted measures from the PCHQR Program, which will reduce the information collection burden on the PCHs. The change in the burden is a reduction of approximately 41,538 hours and $1,519,387 annually across all 11 facilities. Finally, while we are also adding four (4) measures, these measures are calculated by CMS using data which facilities already report as part of the claims process and are therefore not anticipated to impose any additional burden on the PCHs.
