Contents
This notice sets out a summary of the use and burden associated
with the following information collections. More detailed information
can be found in each collection's supporting statement and associated
materials (see ADDRESSES).
CMS-10716 Applicable Integrated Plan Coverage Decision Letter
Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct or sponsor. The term
``collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires federal agencies
to publish a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension
or reinstatement of an existing collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, CMS is publishing this notice.
Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of a currently
approved collection; Title of Information Collection: Applicable
Integrated Plan Coverage Decision Letter; Use: Sections 1859(f)(8) of
the Act require development of unified grievance and appeals processes
for D-SNPs, to the extent feasible. We finalized the implementation of
this regulation for integrated organization determinations at Sec.
422.631, effective January 1, 2021. This rule requires applicable
integrated plans to send an enrollee a written notice of any adverse
decision on an integrated organization determination using a notice
that is written in plain language and contains the information detailed
at Sec. 422.631(d)(1)(iii).
Applicable integrated plans as defined at Sec. 422.561 are
required to issue form CMS-10716 when a request for either a medical
service or payment is denied in whole or in part after considering both
the Medicare or Medicaid benefit. Applicable integrated plans issue
this form to enrollees when the plan reduces, stops, suspends, or
denies, in whole or in part, a request for a service or item (including
a Part B drug) or a request for payment of a service or item (including
a Part B drug) that the enrollee has already received. The form
provides the enrollee with information regarding their right to an
appeal of the applicable integrated plan's decision and the enrollee
will use the instructions to navigate the appeal process. Form Number:
CMS-10716 (OMB control number: 0938-1386); Frequency: Occasionally;
Affected Public: Private sector (Business or other for-profits); Number
of Respondents: 112; Total Annual Responses: 24,716; Total Annual
Hours: 4,120. (For policy questions regarding this collection contact
Kristi Sugarman Coats at 415-744-3629.)
Dated: February 23, 2023.
